About Overall Taxidermy & Wild Game Processing

Overall Taxidermy & Wild Game Processing operates in New Caney, Texas, a fast-growing community in Montgomery County northeast of Houston along the US-59 corridor. The dual focus on taxidermy and game processing makes this a convenient one-stop shop for hunters who want their harvest handled from field to final display without multiple trips to separate businesses. New Caney sits at the edge of the Sam Houston National Forest and near a stretch of East Texas that's loaded with hunting leases, which means the shop draws customers from a genuinely active hunting community.

Services & Process

Wild game processing and taxidermy under one roof means a hunter can drop off a whitetail after a morning hunt and arrange for both butchering and a shoulder mount in a single conversation. The processing side typically covers skinning, quartering, custom cuts, vacuum sealing, and sausage or jerky options using the meat. On the taxidermy side, expect standard offerings like shoulder mounts, European skull mounts, full body mounts, and possibly fish and bird work depending on the studio's current specialties. Having both services available saves hunters significant time and reduces the handling stress on the animal, which can improve the quality of both the meat and the hide.

Service Area

Overall Taxidermy & Wild Game Processing serves hunters across the US-59 northeast Houston corridor, including Porter, Splendora, Humble, and surrounding communities in Montgomery and Liberty counties. The shop's location makes it a natural stop for hunters heading back from East Texas leases toward the Houston metro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off a deer for both processing and mounting at the same time?
Yes, that's exactly the convenience a combined operation offers. The taxidermist will cape the deer before processing begins, ensuring the hide and head are properly preserved for mounting while the rest of the animal goes to the processing side.
How long does wild game processing typically take in Texas?
During peak deer season in November and December, most processors are running at full capacity and turnaround can take one to two weeks. Dropping off early in the week and being flexible about pickup date usually helps speed things along.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a European mount?
A shoulder mount preserves the hide, head, and neck of the animal on a form, showing the deer's full facial expression and coat. A European mount cleans the skull completely and displays just the bone and antlers, which is less expensive and works well in spaces where a full shoulder mount would feel too large.
Do I need to gut the deer before bringing it in for processing?
Most processors prefer the deer field-dressed before drop-off, meaning the organs removed and the cavity clean. If you're unsure, call ahead since some shops have specific requirements and preferences that make their work easier and protect the quality of the meat.
What animals besides deer can be mounted in New Caney?
East Texas hunters regularly bring in feral hogs, wild turkey, and various waterfowl in addition to whitetail deer. A full-service shop can typically handle any legal game animal, though exotic or large predator mounts may require special expertise or longer timelines.
Is it worth getting a mount for a feral hog?
Wild hog mounts have grown in popularity as the species has become a serious part of Texas hunting culture. A full body hog mount in an aggressive pose can be a dramatic display piece, and skull mounts showing the tusks are a more affordable way to preserve a notable boar.
