Taxidermists in Little River County, Arkansas

Little River County sits in a prime spot for both waterfowl and big game, bordered by the Red and Little Rivers with Millwood Lake in between. Whether you are hunting the flooded timber for mallards or the thick river bottoms for whitetail, you need a local professional who understands the specific anatomy of Arkansas wildlife.

There are currently two taxidermy operations listed in the county, both located in Ashdown. These shops, including Millwood Wildlife Taxidermy, handle everything from shoulder mounts to migratory bird displays. Having a mount done locally makes it easier to discuss the specific pose you want and avoids the risks of shipping a trophy across state lines.

Using taxidermists in Little River 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.
