Freedom Outdoors and Taxidermy

Freedom Outdoors and Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio based in Seneca, Missouri, serving hunters and customers in nearby communities, including Joplin, Neosho, Anderson, Goodman, Bentonville, Springfield, Wyandotte, and Fairland. Founded by Faron Hembree, the business focuses on detailed, high-quality taxidermy and treats each mount as a carefully crafted representation of the animal.

The studio specializes in whitetail deer mounts and reports completing 200 to 300 each year. Its work may also include other game animals, such as boar and ram. For deer mounts, the studio emphasizes professional tanning rather than dry preservation, along with quality eyes and ear liners, a transparent nasal septum, and anatomically accurate muscle detail and hair patterns. Customers can discuss special requests, and a rush service is available for an additional charge. The business notes that standard turnaround is approximately 12 to 16 months, reflecting its focus on craftsmanship rather than speed. Freedom Outdoors and Taxidermy is led by an experienced practitioner who guarantees his work and is active in taxidermy associations, including serving as president of the Missouri Taxidermy Association.
