Services & Process

Lone Star Euro's centers its work on European skull mounts, which involve stripping and cleaning the skull to expose the bone structure and antlers in a striking, minimalist display. The process includes full degreasing and whitening to produce a gallery-quality finish. For deer hunters bringing in whitetail, axis, or exotic skulls, the shop handles the cleaning process from start to finish. Antler mounting on plaques and panels is also available, giving customers flexible display options for partial or full antler sets taken from the Hill Country and South Texas.

Service Area

Lone Star Euro's serves San Antonio and Bexar County, along with hunters from the surrounding region. Customers from Boerne, Helotes, Schertz, and as far as the Hill Country and South Texas regularly use the shop. Its San Antonio location makes it easy to reach from nearly any direction in the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a European mount, and how is it different from a shoulder mount?
A European mount displays only the cleaned skull and antlers, with all skin and tissue removed. A shoulder mount includes the full head and neck covered with the preserved hide, which takes more time and costs more but gives a more traditional trophy look.
How white will my skull look after the cleaning process?
You can usually choose the level of whitening you prefer, from a natural off-white bone color to a bright white finish using peroxide or whitening agents. Most customers opt for something in between, which looks clean without appearing artificial.
Can I get a European mount done for exotic deer species?
Absolutely. Axis deer, fallow, blackbuck, and other exotics taken on Texas ranches make excellent European mounts. The skull structure and horn or antler shape on many exotic species actually look especially striking with the European style.
How long does a European mount take compared to a shoulder mount?
European mounts are significantly faster, typically taking a few weeks rather than several months. That's one of the main reasons hunters who want a quicker turnaround often choose this style.
Do you offer any mounting hardware or display panels for the finished skull?
Most European mount specialists offer wall panels, plaques, or mounting brackets to display the finished skull. Some shops also offer rustic wood panels or metal accents that complement the natural look of the bone.
What should I do with the skull in the field to prepare it for a European mount?
Remove as much of the meat and tissue as you can before bringing it in, and keep it cool or frozen. You don't need to do a perfect job since the taxidermist will handle the full cleaning, but less tissue means a faster turnaround.
