Taxidermists in Henry County, Georgia

Henry County hunters mostly work the hardwoods and creek bottoms for whitetails and eastern turkeys. When you bring down a mature buck in the local area, you need a taxidermist who understands the heavy neck musculature and specific antler characteristics of Georgia deer. Getting your trophy to a shop quickly after the harvest is the best way to ensure the hide stays in good condition for a quality mount.

There is currently one professional taxidermy shop listed in the county, located in Locust Grove. This shop handles traditional shoulder mounts and other preservation work for sportsmen in the southern part of the metro area. Whether you are hunting local private land or nearby wildlife management areas, having a reliable contact in Locust Grove makes it easier to drop off your deer or birds without a long drive.

Using taxidermists in Henry 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.
