Taxidermists in Concordia Parish, Louisiana

Concordia Parish sits in a prime spot for big river-bottom bucks and heavy waterfowl numbers coming off the Mississippi River. When you pull a trophy out of the flooded timber or the thickets around Ferriday and Vidalia, you need a local professional who knows how to handle these specific species. A bad mount is a waste of a good season, so it pays to stay within the parish for your shoulder mounts and waterfowl displays.

There are currently two established shops serving hunters in this area, including Boler's Taxidermy in Ferriday. Having these services close to home simplifies the drop-off process and ensures your cape stays in good condition during transport. These local taxidermists understand the local deer genetics and bird varieties, providing the technical skill required to preserve your hunt for the wall.

Using taxidermists in Concordia 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.
