Services & Process

A studio with the word 'wildlife' in its name typically covers a broad spectrum of mounts. Trophy shoulder mounts for whitetail deer are the foundation of most Texas studios, but full body mounts for predators like bobcats and coyotes are a step up that requires more artistic skill in posing and expression. Bird mounts, including wild turkey and waterfowl, demand careful feather preservation and detailed paint work to capture iridescent coloring accurately. Habitat displays, where the mount is placed in a natural setting with realistic ground cover, add a dramatic element collectors and museums often request.

Service Area

Sportsmen's Wildlife Studio works with customers throughout Wolfe City and Hunt County, drawing hunters from Greenville, Commerce, and the surrounding North Texas region. The studio's location makes it accessible from both the Dallas metro area to the south and rural communities further east.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mount a wild turkey from the spring season?
Yes, wild turkey mounts are a popular request at studios across North Texas. You can choose a full body mount in a strutting or standing pose, or opt for a fan and beard mount if you want a simpler display piece.
What does a full body deer mount cost compared to a shoulder mount?
Full body mounts cost significantly more than shoulder mounts because of the additional materials, time, and skill involved. Expect to pay two to three times the price of a shoulder mount, sometimes more depending on the pose and size of the animal.
Do you work with exotic animals or out-of-country trophies?
Many Texas studios handle exotic game, including axis deer, nilgai, and fallow deer from Texas ranches. For international trophies, you'll need CITES permits and proper import documentation, and the taxidermist will need to confirm they can legally accept the specimen.
How do habitat displays work?
A habitat display places your mount in a realistic natural setting, using materials like artificial rocks, logs, grass, and water features to create a scene. These are especially popular for predator mounts and are often used in commercial settings like lodges and museums.
Do I need to make a deposit when I drop off my animal?
Most taxidermists require a deposit, usually 30 to 50 percent of the total cost, at the time of drop-off. This covers initial material costs and secures your spot in the production queue.
What happens if my animal's hide is damaged during the hunt?
Minor damage like small cuts or bullet holes can usually be repaired during the mounting process without visible marks on the finished piece. Larger damage to the cape, especially around the face and ears, is harder to fix, so ask the taxidermist to assess it before you agree on a price.
