Services & Process

Myers Taxidermists handles the range of work that north-central Oklahoma's hunting community demands. Deer mounts, which make up the bulk of fall work at most rural Oklahoma studios, involve careful skinning and caping, form selection, and meticulous finish work to bring out the natural character of each animal. Wild turkey mounts, both full-body and fan mounts, are also common given the strong turkey hunting in Logan County. Fish work, including catfish and bass caught from local rivers and ponds, rounds out the studio's seasonal workload.

Service Area

Myers Taxidermists serves the Crescent community and Logan County as a whole. Hunters from nearby Guthrie, Edmond, and Kingfisher County regularly make the trip for local taxidermy work. The studio is a practical option for north-central Oklahoma sportsmen who prefer working with an established local provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle European skull mounts for deer and elk?
European mounts involve cleaning the skull down to bare bone, either through boiling, beetles, or maceration, and are one of the most popular options in rural Oklahoma right now. They cost significantly less than a full shoulder mount and look great on a wall or above a door.
Can you mount a bobwhite quail or pheasant?
Yes, small upland game birds like quail and pheasant can be mounted in a variety of poses, from standing displays to flying mounts. They make great additions to a hunting room display, especially when mounted in a natural habitat setting.
How do I properly care for a deer cape in the field before getting to the taxidermist?
Cool the cape down as fast as possible after the kill, either by keeping it on ice or refrigerating it immediately. Don't cut the throat or make unnecessary incisions, and if you're going to be more than a day getting to the studio, freeze the cape in a sealed plastic bag.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a replica for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a replica is a fiberglass reproduction painted to match a reference photo of your fish. Replicas hold their color better over time and let you release the fish alive, which many catch-and-release anglers prefer.
How long does a typical full-body deer mount take?
Full-body mounts take considerably longer than shoulder mounts, often a year or more, because of the additional complexity in positioning, form work, and finishing. Most hunters opt for shoulder mounts, which are faster and more economical while still making an impressive display.
Is there anything I should bring with me when I drop off my trophy?
A photo of the live animal can help the taxidermist match colors and expression, especially for fish mounts where natural coloration fades quickly after death. Bringing your hunting license information may also be required depending on the species and state regulations.
