Services & Process

HTX Taxidermy handles the range of mounts that matter most to sportsmen in the Houston area, including whitetail shoulder mounts for deer taken on East Texas leases and waterfowl mounts for ducks and geese harvested along nearby coastal marshes. Fish reproductions for largemouth bass, redfish, and flounder are a strong part of the shop's work, given how many anglers fish Galveston Bay and surrounding estuaries year-round. Full body mounts on smaller game birds like teal or pintail let hunters display their best catches in dramatic, lifelike poses. Every mount involves careful attention to paint matching and feather or fur grooming during the finishing stages.

Service Area

HTX Taxidermy is located in Pasadena, Texas, serving hunters and anglers across the southeast Houston metro, including Deer Park, La Porte, Friendswood, and the communities along the Houston Ship Channel corridor. Coastal sportsmen from Galveston County also make the short drive north to use the shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount multiple ducks or geese in a single display?
Yes, multi-bird displays are a popular option for waterfowl hunters who want to showcase a memorable hunt or a species mix from a single outing. These group arrangements take more time and planning but create a dramatic, gallery-worthy finished piece.
How does high humidity along the Texas coast affect mounted trophies?
Excess moisture can cause skin mounts to deteriorate faster, lead to mold growth, or cause fish mounts to warp if they're not properly sealed. A taxidermist familiar with coastal conditions will use the right sealants and finishing products to protect your mount from the environment.
Do you offer fish reproductions for saltwater species like redfish?
Yes, redfish and speckled trout reproductions are common requests at shops serving the Gulf Coast area. A good reproduction captures the exact coloration of your fish using reference photos you provide, and it'll hold up far better over time than a traditional skin mount.
What information do I need to provide for a fish reproduction?
You'll need accurate length and girth measurements taken right at the time of catch, along with several high-quality photos showing the fish from both sides and the top. The more reference material you provide, the more accurate the finished reproduction will be.
Are there any legal restrictions on mounting certain bird species?
Yes, federal law under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act restricts the mounting of many native bird species, so you'll need to have legally harvested any migratory bird before a taxidermist can legally work on it. Always keep your hunting license and harvest tags, as shops may ask for proof of legal take.
How long do mounted trophies last if properly cared for?
A well-made mount kept in a climate-controlled, low-humidity indoor space can last several decades without significant deterioration. Keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heating vents goes a long way toward preserving the colors and form of the mount.
