Rheinlander Taxidermy covers the full range of work that Central Texas hunters and outdoor enthusiasts need, including whitetail deer shoulder mounts, European skull mounts, and fish mounts for species pulled from the Highland Lakes and local rivers. Bird mounts for wild turkey, dove, and other upland game are also part of the shop's skill set, given the active bird hunting culture in the region. Rug mounts and full body work are available for customers with larger game or unusual specimens. Antler mounting and habitat displays add more options for customers who want a more dramatic finished piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to have a traditional approach to taxidermy?
Traditional taxidermy focuses on anatomical accuracy, quality materials, and handcrafted detail work rather than shortcuts or mass-produced forms. Mounts done this way tend to look more lifelike and hold up better over time than lower-cost alternatives.
How do I choose between two Austin taxidermists when one has fewer reviews?
Ask to see examples of their finished work in person, and talk to the taxidermist directly about their process and timeline. A shop that communicates clearly, shows quality examples, and gives you a firm written quote is worth serious consideration regardless of review count.
What fish species do Austin-area taxidermists commonly mount?
Largemouth bass from Lake Travis and other Highland Lakes are the most common fish mount requests in the Austin area. Striped bass, catfish, and other species are also mounted, and many taxidermists now work from reproduction forms using the angler's measurements and photos so the live fish can be released.
Is it possible to get a habitat display built around my trophy mount?
Habitat displays incorporate natural-looking backgrounds, vegetation, rocks, and other elements to place the mount in a lifelike setting. They cost more than a standard wall mount but create a dramatic finished piece that looks like a scene from the field.
Does it matter that Rheinlander is located in Austin rather than a small rural town?
Not necessarily. Urban taxidermists serve the same range of hunters and collectors as rural shops, and being in Austin means easy access for customers across a large metro area. What matters most is the quality of the work and the taxidermist's experience with your type of specimen.
How should I store a trophy at home while waiting to get it to a taxidermist?
Keep the cape or skin frozen in a sealed plastic bag with as much air removed as possible. For skulls and antlers, cool and dry storage works fine. Never use salt or other preservatives unless a taxidermist specifically instructs you to.
