Fin and Bones Taxidermy

Fin and Bones Taxidermy is based in Temple, Texas, a central Texas city in Bell County with easy access to some of the state's best fishing lakes and hunting country. The name makes the focus clear: fish and game are both on the menu here. Temple sits between Waco and Austin, putting it within reach of hunters and anglers from a wide stretch of central Texas. They carry a 5-star rating and serve a customer base that spans both serious tournament anglers and deer hunters working the Blackland Prairie and Cross Timbers regions.

Fish mounts are a core offering here, covering species like largemouth bass, striped bass, catfish, and crappie that anglers pull from nearby Stillhouse Hollow, Lake Belton, and Waco lakes. Both skin mounts and fiberglass reproductions are options depending on the client's preference and whether they want to release the fish alive. On the game side, deer shoulder mounts, skull cleaning, and antler mounting handle the needs of Bell County hunters. The shop's name suggests equal dedication to both disciplines, which isn't always common.

Fin and Bones Taxidermy serves Temple and the surrounding Bell County region, including Belton, Killeen, and Waco to the north. The shop is well-placed for anglers who fish Lake Belton and Stillhouse Hollow Reservoir. Hunters from across central Texas, including Coryell and McLennan counties, are also within a reasonable drive.
