Frequently Asked Questions

What makes South Texas whitetail mounts different from other regions?
South Texas deer tend to have heavier bodies and distinct rack characteristics, so experienced taxidermists in this region use forms and references that reflect that regional look. A taxidermist who knows South Texas deer will produce a mount that looks natural rather than generic.
Can Double B Taxidermy handle javelina or hog mounts?
Javelina and feral hogs are extremely common in the Goliad area, and most South Texas taxidermists are well practiced at both species. Shoulder mounts and full body mounts are both options, and a half-body or rug-style hog mount is also a popular choice.
How should I field dress a deer if I want a shoulder mount?
Make your gutting cuts from behind the ribcage and don't cut forward toward the brisket or neck. Leave plenty of cape behind the shoulders, and avoid cutting the throat. Getting the animal cooled down quickly is just as important as where you make the cuts.
How long will a properly done taxidermy mount last?
A quality mount, kept out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity, can last decades without significant fading or deterioration. Dusting it occasionally and keeping it in a stable indoor environment goes a long way toward preserving the mount long-term.
Does the taxidermist need the whole animal or just the head and cape?
For a shoulder mount, you only need the head, neck, and cape, along with the antlers if applicable. For a full body mount, the taxidermist needs the entire animal. Ask before you field dress so you know exactly how much of the animal to bring in.
What happens if I bring in a damaged hide?
Small cuts, punctures, or rub spots can often be repaired by a skilled taxidermist. Significant damage from poor field care or freezer burn can limit what's possible. Always be upfront about any damage when you drop off the specimen so you get realistic expectations.
