Creek Bed Taxidermy

CreekBed Taxidermy is a specialized bird mounting operation in Bloomingdale, Georgia. Ron Hutchinson does one thing: realistic bird mounts for hunters. That's it.

Ron grew up hunting and fishing with his grandfather. He became a professional wildlife photographer in Georgia and Tennessee, studied fine art at AAU, and earned a degree in forestry and wildlife conservation with special focus on waterfowl migration and habitat. He trained under both state and national champion taxidermists for waterfowl and turkeys. His first bird mount—a flying turkey—was in 2006. After years of mounting birds for himself and friends, he decided to do this full-time.

Open mouth turkey mounts add $10. Custom bases and habitats available. 7% Georgia sales tax applies.

• •Flying birds come ready to hang with "ghost hangers" (no extra charge unless you want a custom base). The hanger attaches directly to the wall, making the bird appear to be actually flying.

Ron's credentials matter: state-licensed by Georgia and federally permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to work with game birds and protected migratory birds. His years studying bird anatomy and color tones as a photographer show in the mounts—hunters consistently say the realism is stunning.

• •Payment options: Credit card (6% charge), Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, cash, or check.
