About Eureka Taxidermy

Eureka Taxidermy operates out of Corsicana, Texas, a city in Navarro County that sits along the I-45 corridor between Dallas and Houston. The region draws hunters chasing whitetail, feral hog, and waterfowl across the black-soil prairie and river bottom land that defines this part of East Texas. A local taxidermist here understands the specific game species and conditions that customers bring through the door. Corsicana's central location also makes it accessible for clients coming from surrounding counties who want quality work without driving to a major metro.

Services & Process

Eureka Taxidermy covers the standard services hunters and anglers in Navarro County rely on after a season in the field. Whitetail and exotic deer mounts make up a significant portion of the workload, from basic shoulder mounts to more detailed pedestal or full body presentations. Fish mounts, including largemouth bass and catfish common to the region's lakes and rivers, require a different set of techniques involving casting or skin mounting to preserve color and fin detail. Bird mounts for duck, dove, and turkey are also part of the mix, particularly given the strong waterfowl hunting around Navarro County's reservoirs.

Service Area

Eureka Taxidermy serves Corsicana and the wider Navarro County area, with customers coming from communities like Ennis, Waxahachie, Athens, and Fairfield. Its location along I-45 makes it a practical stop for hunters heading back toward the Dallas metro after a weekend on their lease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount largemouth bass caught from Richland Chambers Reservoir?
Absolutely. Fish mounts are a common request in this area given the quality bass fishing on Richland Chambers. You can choose between a skin mount using the actual fish or a fiberglass reproduction, with the reproduction being more color-durable over time.
How do I transport a duck or turkey for mounting after a hunt?
Keep the bird dry and cool. Place it in a plastic bag without bending the tail or wings into awkward positions, and freeze it as soon as possible if you can't get it to the taxidermist right away. Avoid field dressing birds you plan to have mounted.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish's skin stretched over a form, while a reproduction is a fiberglass cast that's hand-painted to match your fish's coloring. Reproductions are more popular for catch-and-release fish and tend to hold their color longer without fading.
Do you handle exotic animals like axis deer or aoudad?
Many Texas taxidermists work on exotics, which are common on the ranches spread throughout this region. It's worth confirming the shop has experience with your specific species since exotics can have different hide characteristics than native whitetail.
How should I store a mount once it's home?
Keep mounts away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heating or cooling vents. Sunlight fades the finish and hair color over time, while moisture can cause issues with the hide. A quick dusting with a soft brush a few times a year keeps them looking sharp.
Is there a best time of year to drop off work to avoid a long wait?
Spring and summer are typically the slowest periods for most Texas taxidermists, which means shorter queues for non-deer work like fish and birds. Deer hunters who drop off in November and December are usually looking at the longest waits.
