Services & Process

Knight's Taxidermy provides the taxidermy services that matter most to hunters in Waller County and the surrounding regions. Shoulder mounts and full body deer mounts are bread-and-butter work here, with careful attention to ear positioning, eye glass selection, and natural poses that honor the animal. Skull cleaning, whether European mounts or cleaned skulls for display, is also a popular request. Antler mounting gives hunters a clean way to display a rack when a full cape mount isn't the preference.

The shop is conveniently located for clients coming from Hempstead, Prairie View, Brookshire, and the northwest Houston suburbs. It's a natural stop for anyone hunting the farms and ranches along the US-290 corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment to drop off a specimen?
Calling ahead is always a good idea, especially during deer season when volume picks up fast. A quick call to (936) 419-6695 lets the taxidermist prepare for your arrival and ensures someone is available to assess your specimen.
How do I properly field dress a deer to preserve the cape for a shoulder mount?
Cut behind the front legs and around the body, leaving plenty of extra hide on the neck and chest for the taxidermist to work with. Avoid cutting too close to the head, and keep the cape cool or on ice as soon as possible.
What's a European mount and how is it different from a shoulder mount?
A European mount involves cleaning the skull down to bare bone and mounting just the skull and antlers for display. It's a more minimalist look that's become very popular, and it's generally less expensive and quicker to complete than a shoulder mount.
Can you mount animals besides deer?
Most taxidermists in this area handle a variety of animals beyond deer, including hogs, turkey, ducks, and predators like coyotes. It's worth asking specifically about your animal when you call to confirm the shop has experience with that species.
How much does a typical deer shoulder mount cost in Texas?
Prices vary by shop and complexity, but a standard white-tailed deer shoulder mount in Texas typically runs somewhere between $400 and $700. Custom poses, habitat bases, and rush fees can add to the total.
What should I do if I can't get to the taxidermist right away?
Cape out your deer and freeze the hide as quickly as possible. Place the cape in a sealed plastic bag to prevent freezer burn, and make sure the antlers won't puncture the bag. A properly frozen cape can be stored for months without quality loss.
