Richmond sits where suburban growth meets genuine Texas outdoors culture, and hunters in this area take their trophies seriously.

Services & Process

Brazos Bend Taxidermy provides shoulder mounts and full body mounts for whitetail deer, wild hog, and other game that thrives in the river bottom habitats of Fort Bend County. Rug mounts for bears or wild hogs taken on out-of-state or exotic game hunts are a specialized service that requires careful hide preparation and backing to produce a display-ready result. Skull cleaning produces the clean, dramatic European mount look that's become increasingly popular with modern hunters who want something different from the traditional full shoulder display. Antler mounting services let hunters display matched sets, sheds, or scored racks on custom plaques that fit any wall size.

Service Area

Brazos Bend Taxidermy serves Richmond and the surrounding Fort Bend County communities, including Rosenberg, Fulshear, and Sugar Land. Hunters who access the Brazos River bottoms or area hunting leases off FM 762 and Highway 59 will find the shop conveniently located for drop-off after a successful hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's involved in a wild hog full body mount?
A full body hog mount involves tanning the entire hide, fitting it over a custom foam form shaped to match the animal's body, and finishing with glass eyes and detail work on the face and hooves. It takes significantly more time and materials than a shoulder mount, so pricing reflects that added complexity.
Can you create a rug mount from a game animal taken in Texas?
Rug mounts are more commonly done for bear or large predator hides, but hog rugs are possible and make a striking display. The hide is tanned, stretched, and backed with felt, with the head either included in a raised or flat pose depending on your preference.
How close to the Brazos Bend State Park area do you serve clients?
The shop is well-positioned to serve hunters and wildlife enthusiasts from across the southern Fort Bend County corridor, including areas near the park off FM 762. Clients from Needville, Beasley, and surrounding rural communities regularly make the short drive to Richmond.
Is it possible to get a mount done in time for the holidays as a gift?
It depends entirely on when you drop off the trophy, since most quality mounts take several months to complete properly. If you're hoping to give a finished mount as a holiday gift, drop off your trophy as early in the fall as possible and ask the shop if they can prioritize your order.
What happens if my cape has some damage from the shot placement?
Experienced taxidermists can repair many types of hide damage including bullet holes, cuts, or areas of slippage, though severe damage may limit your mount options. A skilled artist can often hide or minimize damage through careful posing and finishing, so it's worth bringing the cape in for an assessment.
Do you work with first-time hunters who have never used a taxidermist before?
Absolutely, first-time clients are welcome and the intake process is designed to walk you through every decision at your own pace. A good shop will explain your options clearly, show you examples of different mount styles, and make sure you understand the timeline and pricing before committing.
