Taxidermists in Desha County, Arkansas

Desha County sits in a prime spot for both delta waterfowl and big river bottom bucks. If you are hunting the local clubs or the nearby Trusten Holder area, you need a local shop that knows how to handle wet-bottom timber mallards and heavy-antlered deer. Most hunters in this part of the state are looking for mounts that can stand up to the humidity and preserve the memory of a hard hunt in the mud.

You will find taxidermy services available in McGehee to handle your harvest after the season closes. Hi-Tech Taxidermy is the primary option for hunters working the southern end of the county. Whether you pulled a limit out of a flooded field or dropped a buck near the levee, having a professional close to camp makes it easier to get your trophies dropped off before the meat starts to spoil.

Using taxidermists in Desha County

A taxidermist takes your cape and antlers, preps and tans the hide, then mounts the animal on a form. Most shops want the cape caped out and frozen, or the whole head delivered cold and unfrozen within a day or two of the kill.

What to ask before you commit

What is your current turnaround time, in months?
Do you tan in-house or send hides out?
What deposit do you require, and is it applied to the final price?
Can I see finished mounts of the same species?
How should I care for the cape before I bring it in?

What it usually costs

Shoulder mounts commonly run several hundred to well over a thousand dollars depending on species, form and finish work. European mounts are typically the least expensive option. Deposits of 30-50% are standard.

Timing matters

Get the cape cold fast. Do not salt or freeze a cape you plan to have mounted without asking the shop first — hair slip from a warm hide is the single most common ruined mount.
