About Ron's Taxidermy

Ron's Taxidermy operates out of Houston, Texas, one of the largest cities in the country and a hub for serious hunters and anglers who spend their weekends in the field. Houston's location gives it quick access to Gulf Coast fishing, East Texas deer woods, and South Texas ranches, meaning the diversity of trophies coming through a studio here is significant. Ron's brings that hands-on, working-studio feel that many customers prefer over larger commercial operations. Calling (281) 458-9975 connects you directly with the person doing the work.

Services & Process

Ron's Taxidermy covers the range of work a Houston-area hunter or angler is likely to need. Shoulder mounts are the bread and butter, involving careful caping, form fitting, and detailed finish work on the eyes, nose, and lips. Fish work is another common request in this area, given the proximity to Galveston Bay and the Gulf, and can include largemouth bass, redfish, flounder, and trophy catfish. Skull cleaning and antler-only mounts are also typical offerings for customers who want a clean, minimalist display.

Service Area

Ron's Taxidermy serves customers throughout Houston and the broader Harris County area. Given Houston's size, customers from the north side, east side, and the Energy Corridor can all reasonably make the trip. The studio is also accessible to hunters coming in from Humble, Baytown, and Pasadena.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Ron's Taxidermy handle saltwater fish from Galveston Bay?
Houston-area taxidermists frequently work with Gulf Coast species like redfish, speckled trout, and flounder given how many local anglers fish Galveston Bay. It's smart to call ahead and mention the species so the studio can confirm current capacity and advise you on how to preserve the fish before drop-off.
What's the best way to preserve a fish until I can get it to a taxidermist?
Wrap the fish in a damp cloth or paper towel, then seal it in a plastic bag and freeze it as flat as possible. Don't gut it or make any cuts, and keep the fins straight before freezing so they don't break or set in a distorted position.
Does the studio do duck or dove mounts for waterfowl hunters?
Bird mounts are a common service for studios serving Houston-area hunters, especially given the strong waterfowl hunting culture along the Texas coast. Bring the bird in as soon as possible after the hunt, wrapped gently and kept cold, and discuss pose options when you drop it off.
How do I know if my deer cape is still in good enough condition to mount?
A taxidermist can assess the cape when you bring it in, but obvious signs of problems include slipping fur, strong odor, or cuts through the hide near the face. When in doubt, freeze it and let the professional make the call rather than trying to fix it yourself.
Is it possible to get a full body mount done in Houston?
Full body mounts are more expensive and time-intensive than shoulder mounts, but reputable studios can handle them for smaller game, predators like coyotes or bobcats, and even whitetail deer. Discuss the cost and timeline upfront since full body work typically takes longer and requires more detailed reference photos.
How should I store my finished mount at home?
Keep your mount away from direct sunlight, which fades color and dries out the hide over time. Avoid high humidity areas like garages in Houston's climate, and dust it gently with a soft brush rather than sprays or household cleaners.
