Mountain Soul

06/05/2026

Well yall it’s time I reintroduce myself as your local woman taxidermist!

My name is Jess and I live in Burlington, WV. I am the owner and taxidermist of Mountain Soul. I am a mother of 3 and wife. I come from a long line of outdoorsman/women. A little about me is that I enjoy hunting, fishing, crafting, kayaking, tattooing, spending time with my family, learning new things, taking on new challenges, and being out in nature 🌿

My dad gave me the inspration for cleaning skulls and I haven't stopped since I first picked it up as a hobby back in 2023! I started out on my crafting business Mountain Soul Creations with cleaning skulls and making terrariums with them. I decided to separate it from my original page to make content of cleaning skulls and taxidermy! I specialize in cleaning skulls and bones, tanning hides, turkey feather art, we offer 3-D printed skulls for antler mounting, and more! I’m going to be mounting deer and other critters starting in 2027 so stay tuned for them! I am here to serve hunters, trappers, and local taxidermists. This is my absolute passion and I love what I do. If you guys have any questions, please feel free to message me on here! Thank you to everyone that has liked/followed our page so far! 😁

Well y’all I got a surprise! I’m having a sweet little one coming this January 🩷🩵 That being said I’m still going to be tanning and working so just know I’ll be good through the year to do things still until January hits!

We did our first skull replica installation yesterday! I didn’t get to get a picture of it, but I wanna thank Craig Armentrout for the donations yesterday! 😁 We are always taking donations so if you guys wanna donate bones, unwanted animal heads, or hides, bring them to us! We use the skulls and bones for our crafts at Mountain Soul Creations and I am taking hides to practice on for Mountain Soul!

Hey guys! So I've been getting a lot of feedback about us mounting at some point. I'm currently still learning that side of things for the moment and will hopefully have it down at some point. I want to tan hides before I start that next journey. If you want animals mounted, contact Nathan Biser out of Burlington! We recommend him to anyone that wants mounting done and he does a great job!
