About Savage Creations Taxidermy

ABOUT US

Savage Creations Taxidermy is a family owned and operated studio based in Greeneville, Tennessee. What began as a personal passion for wildlife, hunting, and craftsmanship has grown into a full-service taxidermy business serving hunters, outdoorsmen, and families across East Tennessee. Every mount that leaves our shop (including deer, elk, and mule deer mounts) carries the same promise — quality work, open communication, and honest care from start to finish.

As the owner, I built this business to combine my love of the outdoors with a dedication to artistry and precision. Each project represents more than a trophy; it represents a moment, a memory, and a story worth preserving. My family works alongside me in the shop, ensuring each client receives the kind of attention and respect we’d want for our own mounts.

Our mission statement guides everything we do: “Where passion meets preservation.”

A Family Legacy of Craftsmanship and Care

Savage Creations Taxidermy isn’t just a business name — it’s our family’s daily work and pride. From early mornings in the studio to late nights perfecting details, every member of our family contributes to creating lifelike, lasting pieces. We understand what these trophies mean to you because we share the same love for hunting, wildlife, and the outdoors.

Our clients often become friends. Many return season after season, trusting us with deer, elk, bear, and even exotic animals from out-of-state hunts. That trust is built on consistency, clear timelines, and a personal connection that large, factory-style studios can’t offer.

Our Mission and Values

We live by three core values that shape every mount we complete:

Passion for wildlife and artistry

We treat every animal with respect, focusing on accuracy, anatomy, and lifelike presentation. Taxidermy is both science and art, and we balance both with steady hands and a trained eye.

Preservation of memory

Each project is about capturing more than appearance. It’s about recreating a moment — the adrenaline of the hunt, the beauty of the animal, and the pride that comes with sharing it with family and friends.

Integrity in service

We believe in doing things right the first time. We communicate clearly, provide fair pricing, and deliver mounts when promised. You’ll always know where your project stands.

Our Taxidermy Process

Every piece that enters Savage Creations Taxidermy goes through a detailed process designed to protect your investment and produce a mount that looks natural and endures time.

From deer shoulder mounts to exotic full-body poses, each piece receives hands-on attention through every stage.

1

Consultation

We discuss your goals, desired pose, and any special display plans.

2

Hide Preparation

We carefully handle and clean each hide, ensuring proper preservation before tanning.

3

Tanning

We send all hides to a professional tanning service to ensure proper care. This process guarantees durability, prevents cracking, and preserves the hair’s quality and texture.

4

Mounting

We select the appropriate form, sculpt or alter it as needed, and mount the hide for realistic anatomy.

5

Finishing Touches

Painting, detailing, and texturing bring your mount to life.

6

Quality Inspection

Before pickup, every mount is reviewed to meet our standards for accuracy and finish.

Why Hunters Choose Savage Creations Taxidermy

Local expertise

We understand East Tennessee wildlife — the textures, colors, and seasonal variations that make each species unique. Our experience helps us recreate every mount authentically.

Personalized service

You work directly with the taxidermist, not through an assistant or front desk. We listen to your story, your hunt, and your expectations to craft something you’ll be proud to display.

Complete solutions

Our services go beyond basic mounting. We provide full-service taxidermy, trophy restoration, and creative custom mounts for both North American and exotic species.

Long-term durability

Our finishing techniques are designed to help your mount stay strong and beautiful for decades when properly cared for.

Community and Commitment

Savage Creations Taxidermy is proud to be part of the Greeneville and Greene County community. We serve local hunters, outfitters, and families across Tennessee who share our love for the outdoors. By supporting local businesses, clients help preserve traditional craftsmanship and keep this specialized art alive.

We also believe in passing knowledge forward. Our studio takes time to educate clients about field care, hide preservation, and display maintenance to help ensure the best results possible. Every piece is an opportunity to teach respect for wildlife and the importance of sustainable practices.

Our Promise to You

When you bring your animal to Savage Creations Taxidermy, you’re trusting us with something personal. We take that trust seriously. Each mount is treated with the same dedication we’d give to our own. We’re not a high-volume shop that cuts corners or rushes delivery; we’re a family of craftspeople focused on quality over quantity.

We promise open communication, accurate timelines, and unmatched attention to detail. From first contact to final inspection, your satisfaction is our top priority.
