Ozark Skull Taxidermy

01/14/2024

This one came to me badly freezer burned. I wasn’t sure what I could do with it.

It’s always nice after they’ve been skinned, and fleshed, and then washed and rinsed, when you see them float in the rinse tub and they ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE A DUCK, again!!

I think it’s going to be alright.

A full freezer is a happy freezer.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me fill this one with work that is going to start flowing out the door in the coming weeks!

If you have waterfowl you want mounted, or questions about how to care for your bird before you get it to a taxidermist, feel free to call me or shoot me a message.

I wont miss using my kitchen as my shop. But I sure learned a lot in that kitchen. Some cool memories thinking back to the first bird (not pictured) I ever mounted in there, and practicing on several more along the way, to opening a shop at a new location.

It’s been a slow steady progression, and it’s only going to keep getting better.

Where are all of my duck hunters at?

How about a pair of wigeon on a fine Wednesday…

An old dead head I rebuilt for Brad Gannaway at Pro Outfitters. Obviously they’ve got giants. Look em up.

Not wanting to spend the money on a shoulder mount?

Don’t really care for European mounts, but still want a unique way to display your trophy?

How about we use your buck’s antlers to make something you’ll use every day!

Just another option! Contact me at 417-825-3426.

Hey everyone,

It’s officially official. It ain’t just skulls anymore! My federal taxidermy permit was issued today!
If you have waterfowl you want mounted, I’d love to get to put something together for you.

If you want a truly custom waterfowl piece with a quality mount, habitat, and display; contact me at 417-825-3426.

If you’ve dropped off a deer head with me in the last week for a European mount, I told you I expected it to be ready for pick up today.

The bad news is that they aren’t ready.

The good news is that the entire batch is cleaned and ready to whiten. I expect to spend tomorrow and Tuesday evening whitening skulls and anticipate them to be ready to go home by mid week.

The volume of skulls coming in, and some less than cooperative weather got the best of me.

I appreciate your patience and, I’ll see y’all this week.

At the risk of banishment to the Facebook jail for showing a picture of a bunch of ISIS’d deer heads,

The work just keeps rolling in.

Thank you

Couple of good ones in the European soup mix.

It’s a long season and after tonight I do believe I’ll be all caught up.

Keep ‘em coming.

Call any time.

European mounts start at $100. Call any time 417-825-3426. There’s a fair chance I’ll actually answer.

Just a little heads up:

If you’re bringing me a game head for a European mount, it needs to be frozen solid, or freshly taken.

If it’s not frozen and obviously not freshly taken, there are price adjustments that will be made.

This beauty was dropped off today.

Maggots double the price.

If you have any questions about how to care for your critter before you take it to be worked on, please call me.

Check it out, a QR code thingy and the whole shootin’ match. Right fancy, ain’t it.

Try out the QR code and keep checking back as more services are made available going forward.

For now, it’ll be European mounts until some additional permits are received, but they are in progress and shouldn’t be long.

I’ve got plenty of openings for European mounts. Basic whitetail is $100. Display options are available at an additional cost.

There aren’t a lot of things better than late October cold fronts for a mid western whitetail hunter.

Now, late October/Early November cold fronts are the things dreams are made of.

Whitetail European mounts $100.

Fast turn around
