About Lonestar Taxidermy

Lonestar Taxidermy is based in Weatherford, Texas, the Parker County seat and a city that sits at the western edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Weatherford has long had a split identity, part small-town ranch culture and part suburban growth, and the hunters and landowners in this corridor reflect that mix. Parker County produces solid whitetail numbers each season, and the proximity to major metro areas means customers have high expectations for finished work. Lonestar brings that local credibility to every mount.

Services & Process

Lonestar Taxidermy handles trophy work that Parker County hunters bring in after seasons on private ranches and leased land throughout the region. Whitetail shoulder mounts are done using quality commercial forms with attention to ear position, eye set, and nose detail that separates average work from something worth displaying. Antler mounting on plaques or panels is a faster, lower-cost option for hunters who want to preserve the rack without the full skin mount. Full body mounts for predators like coyotes and bobcats are also available, which suits the ranch country that surrounds Weatherford on the west and south.

Service Area

Lonestar Taxidermy serves Weatherford and the surrounding Parker County area, with customers regularly coming in from Aledo, Azle, Mineral Wells, and Granbury. Fort Worth hunters who hold land west of the city often choose a Weatherford shop over hauling their harvest back into the metro.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size form should I request for my whitetail deer?
Form size is based on your deer's measurements, particularly the neck circumference and length from the base of the antlers to the tip of the nose. A good taxidermist will measure or confirm these dimensions at drop-off so the cape fits correctly without stretching or bunching.
Do you mount hogs, and is it worth the cost?
Wild hog mounts are absolutely worth it if you took a notable animal, either a large boar, a dark-coated pig, or one with exceptional tusks. Shoulder mounts and full body mounts are both options, and a well-done hog mount makes a statement piece in any trophy room.
Can I bring in just the antlers for a panel mount?
Yes, antler panel mounts are a popular choice when hunters want to display the rack without committing to a full shoulder mount. The antlers are cleaned, mounted on a backing panel, and finished with a medallion or nameplate if desired.
How do I know if a taxidermist does quality work before I commit?
Ask to see examples of completed mounts in the shop, specifically deer that look similar to yours in terms of size and pose. Pay attention to the eyes, which should look alive and properly positioned, and the seams around the lips and ears, which are where rushed work often shows.
What happens if I'm not happy with the finished mount?
Reputable taxidermists will make reasonable adjustments after pickup if you have specific concerns about the finished piece. It's best to communicate your preferences clearly at drop-off using reference photos so expectations are aligned from the start.
Is it possible to get a mount done faster if I pay more?
Some shops offer rush pricing that moves your work to the front of the queue, typically for an additional fee of 20 to 40 percent. It's not universal, so ask at drop-off if timing is a priority for you.
