Services & Process

Trophy shoulder mounts are a staple service for deer, elk, and antelope, requiring careful skinning, form selection, and hide preparation to achieve a lifelike result. Full body mounts are also available for predators like coyotes or bobcats, which are common in southwest Oklahoma. Fish mounts are another popular request, and taxidermists in this region handle both replica and skin mount options for bass, catfish, and crappie from nearby Fort Cobb and Waurika Lake. Bird mounts, including turkey fans and full strutting toms, round out the typical offerings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer do I need to get it to the taxidermist?
The sooner the better. If you can't get to the shop within a day or two, keep the cape as cool as possible and avoid letting it sit in hot weather. Slippage, where the hair separates from the skin, can happen quickly and may ruin a cape beyond repair.
What's the typical turnaround time for a shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists quote 6 to 18 months for a shoulder mount depending on their current workload. Busy hunting seasons can create backlogs, so dropping off early in the season often means a faster return than waiting until the spring rush.
Can I get a mount done for an elk from the Wichita Mountains lottery hunt?
Yes, a local taxidermist in Lawton with experience in large game is well-suited for Wichita Mountains elk, which are a highly prized trophy. Call ahead to discuss pricing and timing since elk mounts require more materials and labor than a typical whitetail.
Do I need to do anything to the hide before dropping it off?
Basic field care matters a lot. Keep the hide clean, avoid cutting through the brisket or neck if you're planning a shoulder mount, and cape it high on the shoulders. If you're unsure how to cape an animal, ask the taxidermist before your hunt so you're prepared.
Are replica fish mounts better than skin mounts?
Replica mounts are made from a cast of the fish and painted to match, so they're extremely durable and allow catch-and-release. Skin mounts use the actual fish but can fade or shrink over time. Many anglers choose replicas for display quality and longevity.
Can you mount a turkey fan and beard separately without a full bird mount?
Yes, turkey fan and beard displays are a popular and affordable alternative to a full bird mount. The fan, beard, and spurs are typically mounted on a decorative panel, which is a great way to commemorate a hunt without the cost of a full mount.
