About Puma Taxidemy

The shop holds a perfect 5-star rating and serves a region with strong hunting traditions, sitting close to the rolling cross timbers terrain that supports healthy deer, hog, and turkey populations.

It's a no-frills area where craftsmanship and honest pricing matter most to clients.

Services & Process

Puma Taxidermy is set up to handle the game most commonly harvested in Parker County and the surrounding cross timbers region. Whitetail shoulder mounts are standard work here, with careful attention to hide preparation and form selection to capture the animal's natural build. Feral hog mounts are another likely specialty given the significant wild pig population throughout this part of Texas, with full body and shoulder options both available. Skull cleaning and European mounts are popular lower-cost alternatives that still make a strong display, and many clients choose them for secondary animals or for a cleaner aesthetic.

Service Area

Puma Taxidermy serves Millsap and the broader Parker County area, including Weatherford, Mineral Wells, and Brock. Hunters from Palo Pinto County and the western Fort Worth suburbs also make the drive for quality local work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a wild hog I harvested on my ranch?
Yes, feral hog mounts are common work for Parker County taxidermists given how prevalent hogs are in this part of Texas. Both shoulder mounts and full body poses are options, and a taxidermist familiar with hogs will know how to best present the animal's distinctive features.
How do I field dress an animal if I want it mounted?
For a shoulder mount, avoid cutting through the brisket or making incisions forward of the front legs, as the taxidermist needs that skin intact. Keep the cape clean, cool it quickly, and avoid dragging the animal in ways that could damage the hide on the neck and shoulders.
What poses are available for a deer shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists offer a range of commercial forms in poses like straight, semi-sneak, full sneak, turned, and upright. Your taxidermist can show you a catalog and help you pick a pose that suits both the animal's rack and your display space.
Do you do any work for exotic game ranches?
Many Texas taxidermists work regularly with exotic ranches in the region, mounting species like axis deer, fallow deer, blackbuck, and oryx. It's worth asking about specific species since the techniques and forms used can differ significantly from native whitetail work.
How long does a full body mount take compared to a shoulder mount?
Full body mounts are significantly more complex and time-consuming, often taking a year or more to complete properly. The additional labor involved in positioning, sculpting, and finishing the entire animal also means a considerably higher cost.
What is the best way to transport a trophy to the taxidermist in hot Texas weather?
Use a cooler with ice or frozen gel packs and get the animal there as fast as you can, especially in summer or early bow season when temperatures are high. If it's a hide or cape, double-bag it in plastic before putting it on ice to avoid water absorption.
