About Phillips' Taxidermy & Guide Service

Phillips' Taxidermy & Guide Service in Claremore, Oklahoma offers something you don't often find in one place: guided hunting trips paired with professional taxidermy work. Claremore sits in Rogers County just northeast of Tulsa, putting it squarely in some of Oklahoma's best whitetail and turkey country. Having a guide service attached means clients who book hunts can also get their trophies mounted by the same people who helped them harvest them. That connection between the hunt and the finished mount is a real advantage.

Services & Process

The guide service side handles organized hunts in the Rogers County area, likely covering whitetail deer, wild turkey, and possibly waterfowl given the region's proximity to Oologah Lake. On the taxidermy side, expect full shoulder mounts, turkey fan mounts, and fish mounts to round out the typical offerings. The combination means a client can discuss mounting options before the hunt even begins, arriving with a plan for exactly how they want the finished piece to look.

Service Area

Phillips' serves clients in Claremore and throughout Rogers County, with easy access from Tulsa, Owasso, and Catoosa. Out-of-state hunters coming to northeast Oklahoma for guided trips also make up a portion of the clientele.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a guided hunt and taxidermy work as a package?
Yes, combining both services is one of the main advantages of working with a provider like Phillips'. You can discuss mounting plans before the hunt starts, and the taxidermist can assess your trophy immediately after the harvest while it's in the best possible condition.
What kinds of hunts does the guide service cover in northeast Oklahoma?
Northeast Oklahoma is well known for whitetail deer and wild turkey, and the Rogers County area offers solid habitat for both. Waterfowl hunting near Oologah Lake is also popular in the area depending on the season.
Do you mount trophies for hunters who didn't use your guide service?
Most taxidermists who run combined operations still accept walk-in taxidermy work from clients who hunted elsewhere. It's always worth calling ahead to confirm availability and current turnaround times before bringing in a trophy.
Can you ship a finished mount to me if I'm out of state?
Shipping finished mounts is a service many studios offer, particularly those accustomed to working with visiting hunters. Ask about crating and shipping options when you drop off your specimen so the cost can be factored into your overall budget.
How do I prepare a turkey for mounting?
Keep the bird cool and avoid pulling out any feathers after the harvest. Wrap it loosely in a plastic bag and refrigerate or freeze it until you can get it to the taxidermist. Avoid folding the tail feathers sharply, since creases in the fan are difficult to correct later.
What's the benefit of using a local Claremore taxidermist versus shipping to a studio out of state?
Working with a local studio means you can drop off in person, inspect the work before taking it home, and ask questions face-to-face throughout the process. Shipping adds cost and risk, and you lose the ability to review progress during the project.
