Services & Process

C&M Taxidermy handles the full range of work you'd expect from a shop serving Texas hunters, including whitetail shoulder mounts, full body deer mounts, and fish reproductions for trophy bass and catfish common to local waterways. Skull cleaning is a popular service here, where European mounts have become a go-to choice for hunters who want a clean, modern display. Bird mounts for ducks and geese taken along the Gulf Flyway are another specialty, requiring careful feather cleaning and positioning to keep plumage looking natural for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a whitetail shoulder mount typically take?
Most whitetail shoulder mounts take anywhere from 6 to 12 months depending on the shop's current volume. Deer season in Texas brings a rush of drop-offs, so the earlier you bring in your cape, the sooner you'll likely see it finished.
What should I do with my deer cape before dropping it off?
Keep the cape cool or frozen as soon as possible after the harvest, especially in warm Texas weather where spoilage can happen fast. Avoid salting it unless you've been instructed to do so, and try to get it to the shop within 24 hours if you can.
Can you mount fish that were caught and released?
Yes, most taxidermists today offer fish reproductions rather than skin mounts, which means they only need accurate measurements and a good photo to create a replica. This lets you release the fish while still getting a high-quality mount that won't fade or deteriorate over time.
What's the difference between a European mount and a full shoulder mount?
A European mount involves cleaning the skull down to bare bone and displaying just the skull and antlers, which gives a clean, minimalist look. A shoulder mount preserves the hide, face, and neck of the animal over a foam form and is the more traditional trophy display.
Do you offer rush services for time-sensitive trophies?
Some shops can accommodate rush requests depending on their current workload, though this often comes with an additional fee. It's worth calling ahead to ask, especially if you have a specific deadline like a holiday gift or a hunting camp display.
How should I store a finished mount at home?
Keep your mount away from direct sunlight and high-humidity areas like garages or bathrooms, as both can fade the fur and cause the form to degrade over time. A climate-controlled indoor space is ideal, and occasional light dusting with a soft brush will keep it looking sharp.
