Services & Process

Lee's covers the full range of standard taxidermy services that Tarrant County hunters and anglers expect, from whitetail deer shoulder mounts to full body game mounts. Fish mounts are a natural fit given the shop's proximity to Benbrook Lake, where bass, crappie, and catfish fishing draws a consistent crowd. Bird mounts for waterfowl and upland game birds are another specialty, requiring careful feather preservation and precise posing to look lifelike. Antler mounting and European-style skull mounts round out the most common requests from local customers.

Lee's Taxidermy serves customers in Benbrook and throughout the Fort Worth metro area, including Aledo, Weatherford, and the surrounding Tarrant County communities. The shop's location near southwestern Fort Worth makes it an easy stop for hunters coming in from the I-20 corridor. Customers from as far as Granbury and Cresson make the drive for quality work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lee's Taxidermy a good choice for waterfowl mounts near Fort Worth?
Yes, bird mounts including ducks and geese are a common request for taxidermists in the Benbrook area, given the waterfowl hunting that takes place around local lakes and the surrounding region. Proper feather cleaning and careful posing are key to a realistic result, and an experienced studio will handle both.
What should I do if I catch a trophy bass at Benbrook Lake and want it mounted?
The best option is to keep the fish alive or on ice immediately after the catch and get it to the studio as soon as possible. If you're planning to release the fish, a taxidermist can create a high-quality reproduction mount from measurements and a few reference photos, which many anglers prefer because it preserves the fish.
How long does a full body deer or predator mount take to complete?
Full body mounts are more involved than shoulder mounts and can take 12 to 18 months depending on the studio's workload and the complexity of the pose. The extra time accounts for more detailed hide work, larger form construction, and more intricate finishing on the habitat base if one is included.
Can I request a specific pose for my mount at Lee's Taxidermy?
Yes, most taxidermists work with customers to choose a pose from available commercial forms or, in some cases, custom poses for unique displays. Bringing reference photos of the pose you want helps communicate the look you're going for before work begins.
Does taxidermy work well for smaller game like squirrels or rabbits?
Smaller game mounts are absolutely possible and make interesting display pieces, especially for hunters who want to commemorate a first harvest or an unusual catch. These mounts are often less expensive than larger game and can be completed more quickly due to their size.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a European mount for deer?
A shoulder mount preserves the full head, neck, and shoulder area of the deer on a form with glass eyes and finished hide, creating the most lifelike presentation. A European mount involves cleaning the skull down to the bone and displaying the antlers on the cleaned skull, which is a cleaner and often less expensive option that's grown very popular in recent years.
