Taxidermists in Bienville Parish, Louisiana

Bienville Parish offers diverse terrain for hunters, ranging from the piney woods to the bottomlands near Lake Bistineau and Loggy Bayou. Whether you are tracking whitetail in the thick cover or bringing down waterfowl along the waterways, you need a local professional to handle your trophy. The thick brush in this part of North Louisiana produces some heavy-racked bucks that deserve quality preservation once the season ends.

There are currently two taxidermy services available in the parish, both located in Ringgold. These local shops, including 790 Taxidermy, specialize in mounting area game and understand the specific anatomy of Gulf Coast species. Working with a professional in town makes it easier to drop off your harvest quickly to ensure the hide and antlers are properly prepped for long-term display.

Using taxidermists in Bienville 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.
