Taxidermy

Services & Process

Cow Creek handles taxidermy work including whitetail shoulder mounts, full body mounts for game animals, and European skull mounts that have become increasingly popular in Texas hunting circles. Their game processing side covers field-to-table work like skinning, butchering, and packaging deer and other game animals for the freezer. Fish and bird mounts are also part of the taxidermy menu, serving anglers on the Guadalupe River and bird hunters working the Hill Country terrain. Antler mounting and rug work are available for customers who want something beyond a standard wall mount.

Service Area

Cow Creek Taxidermy serves Boerne and the wider Kendall County area, along with hunters coming in from Comfort, Fair Oaks Ranch, and the Kerrville corridor to the north. San Antonio hunters heading to Hill Country properties also find the location convenient. The shop draws customers from across the Edwards Plateau during hunting season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get my deer processed and mounted at the same place in Boerne?
Yes, Cow Creek Taxidermy & Game Processing handles both under one roof, which makes the post-hunt logistics much simpler. You drop off the deer, they handle butchering and packaging for the freezer, and the cape goes to the taxidermy side for mounting.
How soon after the harvest do I need to get my deer to the shop?
The sooner the better, especially in the warm Texas early season when temperatures can stay above 70 degrees well into November. Getting the cape cooled within a few hours of the kill makes a real difference in the quality of the finished mount.
What is the Hill Country hunting season like, and when does the shop get busiest?
Deer season in Texas typically runs from early November through early January, and shops in the Hill Country get slammed during this period. Calling ahead in October to establish a relationship with the shop before the rush is always a smart move.
Does Cow Creek handle exotic game mounts?
Boerne and the surrounding Hill Country are known for their exotic ranches running axis deer, fallow deer, and other species, and local taxidermists in this region regularly handle exotics. It's worth confirming with the shop that they have experience with your specific animal.
How is a 4.9-star rating significant when choosing a taxidermist?
In any service business, consistently high ratings across multiple customers signals that the provider delivers on their promises. For taxidermy specifically, where turnaround times and final quality can vary wildly, a 4.9 out of 12 reviews is a meaningful signal of reliability.
What should I look for in a quality deer shoulder mount?
Look at the eyes, which should have a natural depth and placement, and the nose and mouth area, which are common spots where lower-quality work shows. The fit of the cape to the form and the overall pose should look natural, not stiff or awkward.
