Services & Process

Absolute Taxidermy handles the core work that Oklahoma hunters need most. Shoulder mounts for white-tailed deer are the bread and butter of most central Oklahoma studios, involving careful skinning, form selection, and detailed finish work around the eyes and nose. Fish mounts, whether replica or skin, preserve the color and scale detail of a trophy catch. Bird and small game mounts round out the typical service menu for this part of the state.

Service Area

Absolute Taxidermy serves hunters and anglers in Purcell and throughout McClain County. Customers from nearby communities like Blanchard, Tuttle, and Chickasha also make the drive for local taxidermy work. The studio's central Oklahoma location makes it accessible to clients across the southern metro region.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after the harvest do I need to bring in my deer cape?
You should get your cape to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within 24 hours if refrigerated or sooner if it's warm outside. Heat causes the hair to slip, which can ruin the mount before work even begins.
What's the typical turnaround time for a deer shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists in central Oklahoma quote six months to a year for deer shoulder mounts, with longer waits during the fall hunting season when volumes spike. It's always smart to ask for a specific estimate when you drop off your trophy.
Do I need to do anything special to prepare my fish before bringing it in?
Keep the fish moist and cool, wrapped in a wet cloth or sealed in a plastic bag on ice. Don't gut it or scrub the scales, since the taxidermist needs the fish in as natural a condition as possible.
What is a replica fish mount and is it better than a skin mount?
A replica mount is cast from a mold and hand-painted to match your fish's coloration, so you can actually release the fish after catching it. Skin mounts use the actual fish, but colors can fade over time, making replicas the preferred choice for most anglers today.
Can I get a turkey fan and beard mounted without doing the full bird?
Yes, most studios offer turkey fan mounts as a more affordable option that displays the tail fan, beard, and spurs on a decorative panel. It's a popular choice for hunters who want something for the wall without the cost of a full-body bird mount.
How should I store my finished mount at home?
Keep your mount away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heating vents, all of which can fade colors and dry out the skin over time. Dusting gently with a soft brush a few times a year helps keep it looking its best.
