About Action Taxidermy & Deer Processing

Action Taxidermy & Deer Processing serves hunters and sportsmen in Lexington, Oklahoma, a community situated along the South Canadian River where deer hunting is a serious seasonal tradition. The combination of taxidermy and deer processing under one roof makes this shop a practical stop after a successful hunt. Central Oklahoma hunters don't have to make two separate trips, which saves real time during the busy fall season. This dual-service approach reflects how well the shop understands what local hunters actually need.

Taxidermy

Services & Process

The shop handles deer processing alongside traditional taxidermy work, meaning you can drop off your harvest and get both the meat prepared and the trophy preserved in one visit. Shoulder mounts are the most common request, involving careful skinning, form selection, and detailed facial finishing to capture a lifelike expression. Full body mounts and skull cleaning are also likely offerings, with skull cleaning using either beetles or boiling methods to produce a clean European-style display. Antler mounting provides a simpler, more affordable option for hunters who want to memorialize a rack without a full mount.

Service Area

Action Taxidermy & Deer Processing is based in Lexington, Oklahoma, and serves hunters from throughout Cleveland, McClain, and Garvin counties. The shop is a reasonable drive from Norman, Purcell, and the surrounding rural communities where deer hunting is popular every fall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off my deer for both processing and a mount at the same time?
Yes, that's one of the main advantages of this shop. You can bring in your deer and have the meat processed for the freezer while also starting the taxidermy work on the cape and antlers.
How long does a whitetail shoulder mount typically take?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the shop's current workload and the time of year you drop off. Busy fall seasons often mean longer turnaround times, so asking upfront is always a good idea.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a European skull mount?
A shoulder mount includes the head, neck, and upper chest area, displayed on a form to look lifelike. A European mount is just the cleaned skull with antlers attached, which is simpler and generally less expensive.
How should I care for my deer before bringing it in?
Keep the animal as cool as possible and avoid cutting into the neck or shoulder area if you want a shoulder mount. Getting it to the taxidermist within 24 to 48 hours is ideal to prevent cape damage.
Do I need an appointment, or can I just show up?
Calling ahead is always recommended, especially during deer season when the shop gets busy fast. A quick call to (405) 527-0070 helps you confirm availability and drop-off procedures.
What deposit is typically required to start the work?
Most taxidermists require a deposit of 30 to 50 percent of the total price when you drop off your animal. The remaining balance is usually due when you pick up the finished mount.
