Taxidermists in Lowndes County, Georgia

Lowndes County hunters bring in a lot of local game, from big timber bucks to ducks pulled out of the swampy pockets around Valdosta. Getting a trophy back in one piece requires someone who knows the anatomy of South Georgia whitetails and migratory birds. You need a mount that will actually hold up over the years.

There are currently two taxidermy shops listed in Valdosta to help preserve your harvest. Boneyard Creations & Taxidermy is one of the local options available for those looking to get work done after a successful season. These shops handle everything from standard shoulder mounts to specialized skull cleaning and bird work.

Using taxidermists in Lowndes 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.
