Taxidermy

Services & Process

Reflection Taxidermy handles the full range of trophy preservation work you'd expect from a Texas Hill Country studio. Whitetail shoulder mounts are a staple here, involving careful skin preparation, form fitting, and detailed finishing around the eyes and nose. Fish mounts, whether replicas or skin mounts, capture the color and scale detail that makes a trophy bass or catfish worth displaying. They also work with exotic game, which is common given the nearby ranches and hunting operations throughout Kendall County.

Service Area

Reflection Taxidermy primarily serves Spring Branch and the surrounding communities of Bulverde, Boerne, and Helotes. Hunters from across Comal and Kendall counties regularly bring their trophies here. The studio is also accessible to San Antonio residents heading north on US-281.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after a harvest should I bring in my deer cape?
You should get the cape to a taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within 24 hours if refrigerated or sooner if not. In warm Texas weather, bacteria can damage the hair follicles fast, which affects the finished mount.
What's the typical turnaround time for a whitetail shoulder mount?
Most taxidermists in the Spring Branch area quote six to twelve months for a deer shoulder mount. Turnaround depends on seasonal workload, since deer season brings a significant rush of work between November and January.
Do you work with exotic game from Hill Country ranches?
Yes, taxidermists in the Spring Branch area regularly handle axis deer, fallow deer, aoudad, and other exotics from local ranches. It's worth confirming specific species when you call, since some exotics require different preservation techniques.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a replica fish mount?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a replica is a fiberglass reproduction painted to match your fish's colors. Replicas last longer and allow catch-and-release anglers to preserve a trophy without keeping the fish.
How should I store my cape or hide before dropping it off?
If you can get it to the taxidermist within a day, refrigerating it is fine. For longer storage, freeze the cape in a sealed bag without salting it first, since improper salting can cause problems during the tanning process.
Can a taxidermist repair an old or damaged mount?
Many taxidermists do offer repair and restoration work on older mounts. Common repairs include fixing cracked eyes, reattaching loose ears, touching up paint on fish mounts, and remounting skins that have dried out over time.
