Taxidermy

Services & Process

Wildlife artistry-style taxidermy often means extra attention to habitat displays, where the mount is built into a scene with natural materials like rocks, driftwood, branches, and grasses to create a full environmental context. Full body mounts for predators, waterfowl, and game birds benefit especially from this treatment. Standard shoulder mounts for deer and elk remain core offerings, with careful attention to hide quality and anatomically accurate form selection. Fish mounts, both skin and replica, are also common for anglers targeting bass, crappie, and catfish in nearby Keystone Lake.

Service Area

Southfork Wildlife Artistry serves Sapulpa and the broader Tulsa metro area, including customers from Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, and Creek County communities. Hunters from the Keystone Lake area and the Arkansas River bottom frequently use taxidermists in this corridor. The shop is accessible from both US-66 and the Turnpike for easy drop-off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a habitat display and how much does it cost?
A habitat display mounts your animal in a scene built from natural materials like rocks, wood, and grasses to recreate its environment. Pricing varies widely based on the complexity of the scene, but expect to pay significantly more than a standard mount. It's a great option for a centerpiece display in a trophy room or cabin.
Can I request a specific pose for my deer mount?
Absolutely. Taxidermists work with a range of commercial forms in different poses, from alert heads with ears forward to semi-sneak or aggressive poses. Describe what you want, or bring a photo for reference, and the taxidermist will find the closest available form or discuss custom options.
Do you do waterfowl mounts for ducks and geese?
Yes, waterfowl mounts are a specialty for shops with strong artistic skills since feather detail and color accuracy are critical. Landing poses and wing-spread displays are both popular choices. Make sure to bring birds in clean and dry with feathers laid flat to protect the plumage.
Is taxidermy a good option for a museum or educational display?
Yes, many schools, nature centers, and museums commission taxidermy pieces for educational exhibits. A shop that focuses on artistry and accuracy is a good fit for these projects. It's worth discussing your specific needs upfront, including any size or durability requirements for public display.
How do I know if my deer cape is still usable when I bring it in?
A taxidermist will inspect the cape for slippage, cuts, or other damage when you drop it off. Minor flaws can often be repaired, but severe slippage or hide rot usually can't be salvaged. Keeping the cape cool and getting it to the shop quickly gives you the best chance of a usable piece.
Can you reproduce a mount of an animal I didn't harvest myself?
If you have a legal specimen, documentation, or in some cases just measurements and photos, some taxidermists can create reproduction mounts or display pieces. Laws around legally possessed specimens vary, so it's important to confirm the animal was legally harvested or obtained before proceeding.
