Fins to Feathers Taxidermy

Thad Bellow opened Fins to Feathers Taxidermy in 1993 and has been mounting game for Louisiana hunters and anglers ever since. Operating from his shop at 9275 Hwy 22 in St. Amant, Bellow handles deer, fish, waterfowl, and small game with attention to detail that starts before the animal even arrives at the shop.

Deer & Cervids - Whitetail, fallow, and sika ($500) - Velvet mounts ($600) - Mule deer, axis, blackbuck, pronghorn ($600) - Horn mounts and European skulls (artificial or real) - Custom panel options in birch, oak, walnut, or ebony ash

Fish - Freshwater: bass, bream, crappie ($250 each) - Saltwater: replicas only at $20 per inch - All fish mounted on driftwood with nameplate

Birds & Small Game - Ducks and pheasants ($250) - Turkey tail fans ($150) - Squirrels ($125) - All mounted on driftwood with nameplate

Your mount will only be as good as the specimen you bring me.

Bellow provides detailed instructions for proper field care. For deer, he emphasizes careful skinning, proper freezing within 3 days, and keeping the hide clean and dry. This isn't just theory—quality mounts depend on how the animal is handled in the field.
