Services & Process

A2Z Taxidermy covers the full spectrum of preservation work that sportsmen in this region need. Whitetail shoulder mounts are the most common request, with work involving careful hide preparation and realistic form fitting that captures the animal's actual build. Full body mounts, which require more time and skill, are available for hunters who want to display an entire animal rather than just the head and neck. Antler mounting on decorative plaques or natural panels is a more affordable option that still makes a strong wall display, particularly for hunters with multiple seasons of racks to show.

Service Area

A2Z Taxidermy is based in Junction and serves customers across Kimble County and the surrounding areas of West Texas and the Hill Country. Hunters passing through on US-377 or US-83 find Junction a convenient stop for drop-offs and pickups. The studio draws clients from ranching communities spread across several neighboring counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'full service' mean for a taxidermy studio?
A full-service studio handles multiple species and mount types rather than specializing in just one. For hunters who take a variety of game in a single season, working with one studio for deer, turkey, and fish mounts is far more convenient than dealing with multiple providers.
How long does a full body mount take compared to a shoulder mount?
Full body mounts require significantly more time, often a year or more, because of the complexity involved in creating a lifelike pose for the entire animal. Shoulder mounts typically take 6 to 9 months at a busy studio, so full body work adds considerably to that timeline.
Is taxidermy an option for smaller animals like squirrels or rabbits?
Yes, small game taxidermy is absolutely possible, though fewer hunters pursue it compared to deer or turkey. Small mammals require delicate work given their size, and studios with experience across species should be able to handle them well.
What's included in the cost of a shoulder mount?
The price generally covers all labor, the foam form, and finishing materials like glass eyes and paint touch-ups. The mounting panel or plaque may be included or sold separately depending on the studio's pricing structure.
Can I ship a hide or skull to a taxidermist I can't visit in person?
Shipping is possible for prepared hides, capes, and skulls, though it requires proper salting, drying, or freezing beforehand. Calling the studio first to confirm they accept shipped work and to get packaging instructions is important before you send anything.
Does it matter which taxidermist I choose if they all do similar work?
The skill level, attention to detail, and familiarity with specific species varies quite a bit between taxidermists. Reviews, photos of past work, and a direct conversation about experience with your specific animal are all good ways to evaluate your options.
