Taxidermists in Hall County, Georgia

Hall County hunters bring in a mix of big game from the nearby national forest and local private tracts. Most of the work coming through Murrayville focuses on whitetail deer, though local shops handle the occasional black bear or small game mount common to North Georgia. The terrain here produces solid bucks, and having a reliable option close to the woods makes it easier to get your harvest dropped off before the meat spoils.

Southern Draw Taxidermy in Murrayville provides specialized mounting services for those hunting the northern end of the county. Whether you are coming off a hunt near the lake or the foothills, you can find professional preservation for your trophy. These local services ensure your deer or turkey mount is handled with the specific attention required for Georgia game species.

Using taxidermists in Hall 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.
