About Graham's Wildlife Taxidermy

Graham's Wildlife Taxidermy is based in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, a Sequoyah County town sitting close to the Arkansas state line and not far from the Robert S. Kerr Reservoir. This is a region where hunting and fishing aren't hobbies, they're part of daily life. The name Graham's Wildlife suggests a broad approach to taxidermy rather than specializing in just one animal group. That range matters when customers come in with everything from white-tailed deer to catfish to wild turkey. Give them a call at (918) 775-0571.

Services & Process

Graham's Wildlife Taxidermy handles the full spectrum of wildlife preservation work that Sequoyah County hunters and anglers need. Deer shoulder mounts, the most requested item for any Oklahoma taxidermist, involve careful hide preparation, high-quality form fitting, and detailed finishing work around the eyes and nose. Fish mounts, particularly for species caught in the nearby Arkansas River and Kerr Reservoir, are another regular service. The shop likely handles bird mounts, small game, and predator work as well, making it a reliable single stop for hunters with varied harvests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Graham's Wildlife handle mounts for out-of-state hunters passing through Sallisaw?
Yes, Sallisaw's location near the Arkansas state line makes it a practical stop for hunters traveling through the area. Just make sure your harvest documentation is in order and call ahead to confirm they can accept your specimen.
What wildlife species is Graham's Wildlife Taxidermy most experienced with?
Whitetail deer are the most common specimen for any Oklahoma taxidermist, but a shop called Graham's Wildlife suggests broad experience across multiple species. Calling them directly will give you a clear picture of their current specialties and what they're accepting.
How long does a full body mount take compared to a shoulder mount?
Full body mounts require significantly more time and materials than shoulder mounts, often taking several additional months to complete. The complexity of positioning, the amount of hide work involved, and the finishing details all add up, so expect a longer wait and higher cost.
Can I request a specific habitat display for my mount?
Habitat displays, where the mount is set on a base with rocks, foliage, or natural elements, are an option many taxidermists offer. They add cost and complexity but create a more complete, display-ready piece. Discuss this when you drop off your specimen so the taxidermist can plan accordingly.
Is it worth mounting a fish I plan to eat rather than release?
Absolutely. Many anglers mount a fish they intend to keep, especially a personal best or a species with meaningful sentimental value. For skin mounts, the fish skin is preserved while you can still use the meat, depending on how quickly you get it to the taxidermist.
What's the best way to care for a finished mount at home?
Keep mounts away from direct sunlight, which fades color, and high-humidity areas like bathrooms. Light dusting with a soft brush keeps them looking clean. Properly cared for, a quality mount can last for generations without significant deterioration.
