Customers here want professional results that hold up as display pieces in modern homes. Wildlife Expressions Taxidermy serves that demand with studio-quality work in a convenient location.

Services & Process

Wildlife Expressions Taxidermy offers a full lineup of mount styles to meet the varied needs of Murfreesboro's hunting and collecting community. Whitetail shoulder mounts are a primary service, with multiple pose options and detailed finish work that results in competition-quality presentation. Fish mounts, both skin and reproduction, serve anglers working Stones River and the surrounding lakes. Bird mounts including turkey, duck, and geese are handled with the feather preservation techniques needed to keep colors vivid long after the season ends. Habitat displays and decorative panels are available for clients who want a complete scene rather than a standard wall mount.

Service Area

Wildlife Expressions Taxidermy serves Murfreesboro and all of Rutherford County, including Smyrna, La Vergne, and Lavergne. Hunters from Cannon County, Bedford County, and the southern Nashville suburbs also find Murfreesboro a practical drive for professional-quality taxidermy work. The studio's central location in Middle Tennessee makes it accessible from a wide area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes one taxidermist's work noticeably better than another's?
The biggest differences show up in hide preparation, form selection, and finish detail on the face. A skilled taxidermist takes time on the eyes, nose leather, and ear liners, while less experienced work often shows stiffness, unnatural eye placement, or poorly defined facial features.
Can Wildlife Expressions Taxidermy handle large or unusual species?
Studios that work regularly with a diverse customer base often develop experience with species beyond typical whitetail and turkey. Call ahead to discuss any unusual mounts, including exotics or large game, to confirm the studio has experience with your specific animal.
Is it possible to get a mount done in time for a specific event or gift?
Rush work is sometimes available at an additional cost, but it depends entirely on the studio's current workload. Don't assume a rush timeline is possible without asking well in advance, as quality taxidermy cannot be meaningfully rushed without affecting the result.
How should I display a finished mount to protect my investment?
Mount your piece on a stable wall anchor, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and dust it occasionally with a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid bathrooms or other high-humidity rooms, which can cause the hide to loosen or mold to develop over time.
Do you work with hunters from the Stones River area?
Murfreesboro sits right along the Stones River corridor, and anglers pulling bass, crappie, and catfish from local waters are a natural part of the customer base. Fish mounts from local waters can be especially meaningful as display pieces because of the personal connection to a familiar place.
Can a taxidermist create a mount for an animal that died of natural causes or was found as roadkill?
This depends on the species and applicable wildlife regulations. Some non-game species can be mounted from naturally deceased animals, but many game animals and all migratory birds are subject to strict legal requirements. Always check with your state wildlife agency before bringing in a found animal.
