Taxidermists in Assumption Parish, Louisiana

Assumption Parish offers diverse hunting grounds, from the cypress swamps to the agricultural fringes. Whether you are pulling a heavy buck out of the bottomlands or picking up a limit of mallards, you need a local taxidermist who understands the wildlife in this part of Louisiana. The humidity here can be tough on hides, so getting your trophy to a professional quickly is essential for a quality mount.

Using taxidermists in Assumption Parish

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.
