Taxidermists in Livingston Parish, Louisiana
Livingston Parish offers plenty of opportunities for hunters moving between the Amite River bottomlands and the pine woods. When you bag a trophy buck or a limit of wood ducks, you need a local professional who knows how to handle Louisiana game. Having your mount handled close to home in the Denham Springs area makes drop-off and pickup much easier after the season ends.
There are currently two taxidermy shops listed in this part of the parish, both located in Denham Springs. You can find experienced services like Art of Taxidermy to help preserve your harvest. These local shops understand the specific anatomy of Gulf Coast whitetails and waterfowl, ensuring your mount looks right for years to come.

Using taxidermists in Livingston 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.
