About Kiolbassa Taxidermy

Kiolbassa Taxidermy operates out of Seguin, Texas, a city in Guadalupe County that sits squarely between San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country, two of the state's most trophy-rich hunting regions. Seguin hunters have access to whitetail leases throughout the surrounding counties, and many bring home animals that deserve professional preservation. The name Kiolbassa carries a certain regional weight in South-Central Texas, suggesting deep local roots. If you're hunting in Guadalupe, Comal, or Wilson counties, this is a geographically convenient choice for quality taxidermy work.

Services & Process

Kiolbassa Taxidermy covers the full range of services that South Texas and Hill Country hunters typically need. Whitetail shoulder mounts are the bread and butter, involving tanning the hide, fitting it to a commercial or custom foam form, and detailing the eyes, nose, and ears to a lifelike finish. For the growing exotic game market near Seguin, full body mounts on species like axis deer or aoudad are also in demand. Fish mounts from the Guadalupe River and Canyon Lake are another specialty, with reproduction options available for larger catches worth showing off without sacrificing the fish.

Service Area

Kiolbassa Taxidermy serves the Seguin area and draws customers from throughout Guadalupe County, including hunters traveling from New Braunfels, Schertz, and Lockhart. The shop's location also makes it accessible to San Antonio-area hunters looking for a taxidermist outside the city with faster turnaround times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Kiolbassa Taxidermy work on exotic deer species like axis or fallow?
Yes, exotic game mounts are common in the Seguin area given the number of exotic ranches operating in the Hill Country region nearby. Axis deer, fallow, and sika require slightly different techniques than whitetail, and an experienced local taxidermist handles these regularly.
Can I bring in a Guadalupe River fish for a mount?
Absolutely, the Guadalupe is known for trophy rainbow trout and bass, and a well-done mount makes for a great display piece. You can bring the actual fish or provide detailed measurements and clear photos if you'd prefer a reproduction over a skin mount.
How do I know if my deer cape is still good enough to mount after a few days in the field?
Smell is your best indicator, since a fresh cape has no strong odor while a deteriorating one will smell sour or ammonia-like. If you're unsure, bring it in as soon as possible and the taxidermist can assess whether tanning can still produce a quality result.
What's involved in an antler mounting service?
Antler mounting involves cleaning and preserving the antler rack and attaching it to a finished panel or skull plate for wall display. It's a simpler, faster, and more affordable option than a full shoulder mount, and it works well for hunters who want a clean, minimalist look.
How far in advance should I contact a Seguin taxidermist before deer season?
Reaching out in September or early October gives you time to discuss pricing and confirm the shop has capacity before the November rush. Many shops fill their schedules quickly once deer season opens, so early contact is always a smart move.
Is a deposit required to start a taxidermy project?
Most taxidermists require a deposit of 30 to 50 percent upfront to cover initial materials and secure your place in the queue. The remaining balance is typically due at pickup when you inspect the finished mount.
