About Rocking R's Taxidermy

Rocking R's Taxidermy serves hunters and anglers in Katy, Texas, a city that sits right on the edge of some of the best whitetail and waterfowl country in the Houston metro area. Katy's proximity to the Katy Prairie and surrounding ranch lands means local taxidermists stay busy year-round with trophy work. Whether you've just come back from a South Texas deer lease or pulled a trophy bass out of a nearby lake, having a local provider makes drop-off and pickup much more convenient than hauling your game across the city.

Services & Process

Rocking R's handles the full range of taxidermy work you'd expect from a Texas shop, including shoulder mounts and full-body deer mounts that capture natural pose and expression. Fish mounting is a popular request here, given the bass and catfish fishing in the region, and quality work involves careful skin preparation, glass eyes, and habitat-matched paint jobs. Bird mounts, including ducks and geese common to the Katy Prairie flyway, require detailed feather positioning and support structures. Skull cleaning and antler mounting round out the service list for hunters who want a clean, display-ready trophy.

Service Area

Rocking R's primarily serves customers in Katy and the surrounding west Houston suburbs, including Brookshire, Fulshear, and Richmond. Hunters coming in from the I-10 corridor heading to and from Central Texas ranch lands will find the location easy to reach without a long detour into the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my deer should I bring it in?
The sooner, the better. You should get the animal to a taxidermist or into a cooler within a few hours of the kill to prevent hide slippage and hair loss. If you can't get there right away, cape the deer and freeze the hide.
What's the typical turnaround time for a shoulder mount in Texas?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from six months to over a year depending on the shop's workload and the time of year you bring it in. Busy hunting seasons in the fall and winter create backlogs, so earlier in the year often means faster turnaround.
Can you mount a fish I caught and released, using just a photo?
Yes. Replica mounts are made from fiberglass reproductions sized and painted to match your fish using photos and measurements you provide. They look just as realistic as a skin mount and hold up better over time.
Do you work on exotic animals from guided hunts?
Many Texas taxidermists are experienced with exotics like axis deer, blackbuck, and nilgai, given the popularity of exotic ranches in the Hill Country and South Texas. It's best to call ahead and confirm they have the forms and materials for your specific animal.
How do I properly store a hide or cape if I can't get to the shop immediately?
Salt the cape heavily as soon as possible, working salt into all the folds and around the face and ears. If you don't have salt on hand, bag it and freeze it immediately. Never leave a raw hide sitting in heat.
What information should I bring when dropping off a trophy?
Bring any reference photos you have of the animal, especially if you want a specific pose. You should also have a clear idea of where the mount will hang so the taxidermist can suggest the right pose angle and plaque size.
