About Mount'um Taxidermy

Mount'um Taxidermy operates in Caddo Mills, a small Hunt County community that sits between Greenville and Rockwall along the I-30 corridor. The location puts them within easy reach of hunters across a wide stretch of northeast Texas.

It's a community-focused shop where word of mouth and repeat customers tend to drive the business.

Services & Process

Mount'um handles the kinds of mounts that northeast Texas hunters need most, starting with whitetail deer shoulder mounts and antler displays. Fish mounts are another offering worth asking about, given the proximity to Lake Tawakoni and other regional fishing spots. Bird mounts, including waterfowl and turkey, are also part of the taxidermy tradition in this part of Texas where wing shooting is popular. For customers wanting something more dramatic, full body mounts preserve the entire animal in a lifelike pose, though these take considerably more time and investment.

Service Area

Mount'um Taxidermy serves Caddo Mills and the broader Hunt County area, with customers coming in from Greenville, Rockwall, and points along the I-30 corridor. Hunters from Fate, Heath, and the growing eastern suburbs of the Dallas metro area also find this shop a convenient option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mount'um Taxidermy do fish mounts, or just deer?
Many taxidermists in the Hunt County area handle both fish and deer, and it's worth calling to confirm the current service offerings. Lake Tawakoni is nearby, making fish mounts a natural request from local anglers.
How do I know if my deer hide is in good enough condition for a shoulder mount?
The taxidermist will assess the hide when you bring it in and let you know if there are any problem areas like cuts, slippage, or hair loss. Getting the animal to the shop quickly and keeping it cool dramatically improves your chances of a quality result.
Can I request a specific pose for my shoulder mount?
Yes, most taxidermists work with a range of foam forms that offer different head angles and alert versus relaxed expressions. Bringing reference photos of poses you like helps the taxidermist match your vision more accurately.
What's a realistic price range for a deer shoulder mount in this area?
Shoulder mount pricing in northeast Texas typically ranges from around $400 to $700 or more depending on the size of the animal and the complexity of the work. It's best to get a direct quote since prices vary by shop and current material costs.
How far in advance should I contact a taxidermist before deer season?
Reaching out before the season opens, ideally in September, gives you a chance to confirm the shop is taking new work and understand their current wait times. Many shops fill up quickly once deer season hits in October.
Will my mount be affected by humidity or temperature in my home?
Finished mounts do best in stable, climate-controlled environments away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Humidity fluctuations can cause the hide to crack or the form to warp over time, so a well-regulated room is ideal.
