Services & Process

Wildwoods handles the full range of trophy work you'd expect from a Georgia studio, including shoulder mounts for whitetail deer, which involve skinning, fleshing, and fitting the hide over a foam form to achieve a natural, lifelike pose. Fish mounts are another common request here, whether it's a largemouth bass pulled from one of Georgia's many lakes or a crappie worth keeping forever. Bird mounts, including wild turkey and waterfowl, require careful feather preservation and wiring for natural posture. Skull cleaning using maceration or beetle colonies is also available for hunters who prefer a European-style display.

Service Area

Wildwoods Taxidermy primarily serves Woodville and the surrounding Greene County area, including clients from Greensboro, White Plains, and Union Point. Hunters from across the Georgia piedmont region make the trip for quality work, and the studio's location keeps it accessible to much of northeast-central Georgia.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting a deer should I bring the cape in?
You should get the cape to the taxidermist within 24 to 48 hours, especially in Georgia's warmer months when heat accelerates decomposition. If you can't bring it in right away, cape it out, roll it flesh-side in, and freeze it in a plastic bag until you can drop it off.
What does a whitetail shoulder mount typically cost in Georgia?
Shoulder mount prices in Georgia generally range from $450 to $700 depending on the studio, form quality, and finishing detail. It's worth calling ahead to get a firm quote so there are no surprises when you pick up your trophy.
Can you mount fish that were caught and released, or do I need the actual fish?
Many taxidermists can create a replica mount using just measurements and photos, so you don't have to sacrifice the fish. Replica mounts have improved dramatically in quality and are actually preferred by many anglers today.
How long does taxidermy work typically take?
Most studios in Georgia have turnaround times between four and ten months for deer mounts, depending on how busy the season is. Fish and bird mounts may come back faster, but it's best to ask your taxidermist for a specific estimate when you drop off.
Do I need to do anything to prepare a bird before bringing it in?
Keep the feathers clean and dry, and avoid squeezing or handling the bird more than necessary to prevent feather damage. Wrap it loosely in a plastic bag and freeze it if you can't get to the studio same day.
Will my mount hold up in a humid Georgia climate?
A properly finished mount handles normal indoor humidity well, but you'll want to avoid hanging it near vents, fireplaces, or in garages where moisture and temperature swing. Occasional light dusting keeps feathers and fur looking sharp for years.
