Services & Process

Cutting Edge Taxidermy works with the full variety of species that Grayson County and Red River hunters bring in each season. Whitetail shoulder mounts form the core of the workload, with precise form fitting and hide preparation that preserves color and texture. Waterfowl mounts, including mallards, pintails, and Canada geese, are a specialty in this part of North Texas where Lake Texoma draws serious duck hunters. Turkey mounts, antler plaques, and skull cleaning complete the typical service menu, with the option to discuss full body mounts for predators or trophy-sized deer.

Service Area

Cutting Edge Taxidermy serves customers in Bells and throughout Grayson County, including Sherman, Denison, and communities along the Lake Texoma corridor. Oklahoma hunters from just across the Red River also bring their trophies down to Bells for quality work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you mount waterfowl and ducks from Lake Texoma hunts?
Waterfowl mounts are a natural fit for shops in the Grayson County area given the excellent duck hunting around Lake Texoma. Full body drake mounts in landing or swimming poses are popular options, and the work requires careful feather preservation and detailed bill finishing.
Can I get a mount of a striped bass or other Lake Texoma fish?
Fish mounts, including striped bass, are absolutely possible and a great way to commemorate a trophy catch from one of Texas's most productive lakes. Reproductions are often recommended for large fish since they're more durable and don't require keeping the actual fish.
What's the best way to preserve a duck or goose after the hunt?
Wrap the bird in a plastic bag and freeze it as soon as possible, keeping the feathers smooth and the wings folded naturally. Avoid field dressing the bird, and don't stuff newspaper inside, as both practices can damage feathers and complicate the mounting process.
Do you do work for Oklahoma hunters or just Texas residents?
Taxidermists in border communities like Bells regularly work with customers from both sides of the state line. There's no residency requirement for taxidermy services, so Oklahoma hunters are welcome to bring their trophies in.
How are antler plaques different from a full shoulder mount?
Antler plaques display just the antler rack on a wooden or decorative backing, often with the skull cap attached. They're a budget-friendly option for hunters who want to display a great set of antlers without the cost of a full shoulder mount.
Can I request a specific background or habitat scene for my mount?
Many taxidermists offer optional habitat backdrops that include natural-looking vegetation, rocks, or terrain elements to complement the mount. These custom scenes add cost but significantly increase the visual impact of the finished display.
