Services & Process

Working in South Texas brush country means handling a wide variety of trophy species throughout the season. Expect services covering whitetail deer shoulder mounts, full body mounts for predators like coyote or bobcat, and European skull mounts for hunters who prefer a cleaner look. Wild boar are extremely common in this region and make striking full body or rug mounts. Turkey mounts, whether fan displays or full strutting poses, are also popular here given the strong population of Rio Grande turkeys across Live Oak County.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
You should get your animal to the taxidermist within 24 to 48 hours of harvest, especially in the South Texas heat. If you can't make it that quickly, cape the deer and keep it frozen until you can drop it off.
Do you handle exotic deer species common to South Texas ranches?
Many taxidermists in the George West area are experienced with exotic species like axis deer, blackbuck antelope, and nilgai because of the large number of exotic ranches in the region. It's worth calling ahead to confirm they've worked with your specific animal.
What's the typical turnaround time for a whitetail shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists in South Texas run six months to twelve months for a standard shoulder mount, depending on how busy the season is. Dropping off early in the season can sometimes get you a faster return.
Can I get a European skull mount instead of a full shoulder mount?
Yes, European mounts are very popular and considerably less expensive than shoulder mounts. The skull is cleaned, whitened, and mounted on a plaque or medallion, giving you a striking display at a lower price point.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a pedestal mount?
A shoulder mount attaches directly to a wall plaque and shows the head and upper chest. A pedestal mount is a freestanding display that can show more of the animal's body and is often used for record-class trophies or showpiece animals.
How should I care for a finished mount at home?
Keep your mount out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and dust it gently with a soft brush every few months. Avoid humid areas like bathrooms or garages, since moisture can damage the hide and cause odor problems over time.
