Taxidermists in Newton County, Arkansas

Newton County is rugged territory where hunters target mountain bucks and black bears across the Ozark National Forest. When you pull a trophy out of the Buffalo River backcountry, you need a local shop that understands the specific anatomy of these hill country animals. There are two taxidermy operations currently listed for this area.

One professional is located in Deer, with another shop based in Jasper. If you take a mature deer or a heavy bear near the upper Buffalo, these local taxidermists are positioned to handle the work without a long drive. They specialize in traditional shoulder mounts and rugs that reflect the quality of game found in these deep hollows.

Using taxidermists in Newton 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.
