Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a whitetail shoulder mount take in Center Point?
Turnaround times for deer mounts typically run between 6 and 12 months depending on the shop's current workload and the time of year. Hunting season creates a backlog, so bring your trophy in early and ask for a realistic timeline upfront.
Do I need to do anything to preserve my deer cape before bringing it in?
Yes, keeping the cape cool or frozen is critical right after the harvest. Don't skin past the shoulders if you want a shoulder mount, and avoid cutting the throat. Getting it to the taxidermist quickly or freezing it whole is your best option.
Can Shawn's handle exotic game mounts like axis or aoudad?
The Hill Country around Center Point is loaded with exotic ranches, so local taxidermists in this area are very familiar with axis deer, aoudad sheep, and fallow deer. It's worth calling ahead to confirm species availability and pricing.
What's the difference between a shoulder mount and a euro mount?
A shoulder mount preserves the full head, neck, and cape mounted on a form, giving you a lifelike display. A euro mount is a cleaned, bleached skull that shows off the antlers without the hide, and it typically costs less and takes less time.
How much does a deer shoulder mount typically cost in Texas?
Prices vary by taxidermist, but deer shoulder mounts in Texas generally range from $450 to $700 or more depending on the quality of the work and the pose. Exotics and larger species cost more. Always ask for a written quote before you leave the specimen.
Do taxidermists in the Hill Country handle fish mounts?
Many do, especially with rivers like the Guadalupe nearby. You can bring in a fresh or frozen fish, or in some cases a taxidermist can work from measurements and photos to create a replica mount, which holds up better over time.
