Services & Process

Shoulder mounts for white-tailed deer are the bread and butter for most central Oklahoma taxidermists, involving careful cape preparation, hide tanning, and form mounting to produce a lifelike finished piece. Skull cleaning and euro mounts are a common request alongside traditional mounts, especially for hunters who take multiple deer per season. Turkey full body mounts and fan displays are popular in this area given the strong wild turkey population in Cleveland and McClain counties. Hog mounts, both full body and euro skull style, are increasingly common as feral hog populations continue to grow across the region.

Service Area

Earl's Taxidermy serves Noble and surrounding communities throughout Cleveland County and the southern Oklahoma City metro area. Hunters from Moore, Purcell, Blanchard, and even parts of Norman make the short trip to Noble for taxidermy work. The shop's central location makes it convenient for anyone hunting south of the metro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on feral hog mounts?
Yes, feral hog taxidermy is increasingly common in central Oklahoma given how widespread they've become. Both euro skull mounts and full body mounts are options, and a good taxidermist can make even a mediocre-looking hog into an impressive display piece.
What size deer qualifies for a shoulder mount versus a euro mount?
There's no rule on size. Some hunters mount every deer they take regardless of antler score, while others only mount bucks they consider personal bests. It comes down to the memory attached to the animal and your personal preference for display style.
Can you fix an old mount that's fading or falling apart?
Many taxidermists offer restoration work on older mounts, including re-glassing eyes, touching up paint, or repairing damaged hides. Bring the piece in for an assessment, and the taxidermist can tell you what's realistically fixable and what it will cost.
How much does a typical deer shoulder mount cost in Oklahoma?
Pricing varies by shop and the size of the deer, but most shoulder mounts in Oklahoma range from around $400 to $700 or more. It's always worth calling for a specific quote since pricing depends on the pose, form size, and current material costs.
Can I bring in just the shed antlers for a display mount?
Yes, shed antler mounting is a popular option and doesn't require a skull or hide at all. The taxidermist can mount the sheds on a panel or velvet backing for wall display, which is a great way to memorialize a buck you've been watching without harvesting him.
How do I store a cape if I can't get to the shop right away?
If you're within a day or two of delivery, keep the cape in a cooler on ice or in a refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze the cape in a plastic bag with as much air removed as possible. Never put a salted hide in a plastic bag, as it needs airflow to cure properly.
