Services & Process

East Texas studios routinely mount whitetail deer, feral hogs, and wild turkey, all of which are common harvests across Hunt and Van Zandt counties. Fish mounts are also relevant here given the proximity to Lake Tawakoni, a notable fishery for bass, crappie, and catfish. Skull cleaning is a growing service as European-style skull mounts have gained popularity among hunters who prefer a modern, space-saving display. Full body mounts for predators like bobcats or coyotes, while less common, represent a higher-end service that experienced regional studios can handle.

Service Area

East Texas Taxidermy serves customers across Quinlan, Hunt County, and the surrounding East Texas communities. Hunters and anglers from Greenville, Terrell, and areas near Lake Tawakoni regularly look to local studios in this part of the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for a finished mount at home?
Keep your mount out of direct sunlight and away from high-humidity areas like bathrooms or garages, as both can fade colors and damage the hide over time. Light dusting with a soft brush is usually all it takes to keep a mount looking good for years.
Can you mount a feral hog from a local hunt?
Yes, feral hog mounts are a common request in East Texas. Shoulder mounts and European skull mounts are both popular options, and the skull cleaning process works especially well on hogs given the distinctive bone structure.
What's involved in a fish mount from Lake Tawakoni?
For bass and other fish from Lake Tawakoni, you can choose between a traditional skin mount and a fiberglass replica. Replica mounts are often recommended because they allow catch-and-release fishing while still producing a display-quality finished piece.
Do you offer rush or expedited services for special occasions?
Some studios offer faster turnaround for an additional fee, though it's not always available during the busy fall hunting season. If you have a specific event or deadline in mind, mention it upfront so the taxidermist can let you know what's realistic.
What's the going rate for a standard whitetail shoulder mount in East Texas?
Prices vary by studio and the current cost of materials, but a standard whitetail shoulder mount in Texas typically runs between $400 and $700. Studios in rural areas sometimes price lower than those in urban markets, but quality and experience matter more than cost alone.
Do you accept mounts from hunters who harvested animals on out-of-state trips?
Most taxidermists accept specimens from out-of-state hunts as long as you have the appropriate tags and legal documentation showing the animal was harvested legally. Some species, especially certain big game and migratory birds, require specific permits, so check the regulations for your harvest state.
