Professional Taxidermy Services in Greeneville TN

Full-Service Taxidermy

Our full-service approach means we handle everything from initial preparation to final finish. We advise on field care, proper hide handling, and pose selection. Once the specimen arrives, we send it to a professional tanning service, then manage form selection, sculpting, finishing, and final presentation.

Full-service taxidermy at Savage Creations includes:

• Shoulder and full-body mounts
  
  
• Pedestal and wall pedestal displays
  
  
• Habitat bases and environmental scenes
  
  
• Pose customization to fit your home or lodge
  
  

Each piece is hand-finished for realism and durability.

Hide Tanning and Preservation

Proper tanning is one of the most important steps in taxidermy. Our tanning process stabilizes the hide, prevents cracking, and protects the hair for years to come. We treat every skin with meticulous care to maintain its natural color and texture.

Our tanning services are ideal for deer capes, bear hides, exotics, and other species. We also provide tanning for clients who want to keep hides for rugs, display pieces, or future mounts.

Deer, Elk, and Mule Deer Mounts

Whitetail, elk, and mule deer are among our most requested mounts. We specialize in capturing the animal’s unique posture and expression. From upright shoulder mounts to aggressive wall pedestals, every deer or elk mount reflects realistic anatomy and lifelike expression.

We take great pride in our work because we know how much these moments mean to local hunters. Each mount is sculpted, painted, and finished by hand, ensuring it truly honors the memory behind the hunt.

"I have had the pleasure of spending almost 2 years doing an internship, living in New Mexico, working and learning side by side with the BEST Lion Taxidermist in the industry — Lucus Leyba at Leyba Creations — and will continue a lifelong relationship with this studio."

Lion and Exotic Animal Taxidermy

For clients who travel out of state or abroad, we offer specialized taxidermy for exotic and big game species including lions, antelope, and other international wildlife. These projects demand precise anatomical knowledge and attention to facial and muscular detail.

We ensure proper documentation and work with clients to meet all shipping and legal requirements for these specialty pieces. Every exotic mount receives the same commitment to realism and craftsmanship as our local game mounts.
