About Texas Big Game Processing

Texas Big Game Processing is located in Adkins, Texas, in the eastern Bexar County area just southeast of San Antonio. The name signals a shop built around serious hunters who are harvesting significant animals and want both processing and taxidermy handled locally. The shop has a 1.5-star rating from a small number of reviews, so it's worth calling directly and asking questions before committing. Adkins sits in a pocket where South Texas brush country hunting leases and Hill Country properties are both within driving distance, drawing a wide range of game.

Services & Process

A shop called Texas Big Game Processing suggests capacity for handling large trophy animals alongside standard taxidermy work. Whitetail shoulder mounts, skull cleaning, and antler mounting would be core services for hunters working South Texas leases nearby. Rug mounts for wild hogs, which are a constant presence on Bexar County area ranches, are a natural fit. Full body mounts for game birds, coyotes, and bobcats, along with fish mounts for anglers using Calaveras Lake or Braunig Lake, would round out what a San Antonio-area hunting community regularly needs.

Service Area

Texas Big Game Processing is based in Adkins and serves the eastern Bexar County area and the broader San Antonio metro region. Hunters returning from South Texas lease country or the Hill Country often pass right through this corridor heading home. Customers from Converse, Seguin, and Floresville are all within a short drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get both game processing and taxidermy done at the same place?
Some shops in the San Antonio area offer both services, which saves you multiple stops after a hunt. Just confirm ahead of time exactly which services they provide so you know whether the meat processing and mount work are handled in-house or contracted out.
How do I handle a trophy hog for a rug or full body mount?
Wild hogs can be tricky because their bristly hide needs careful handling. Keep the hog as clean as possible, avoid cutting into the cape area, and get it to your taxidermist quickly since hog hides deteriorate faster than deer in warm conditions.
What's the going rate for a whitetail shoulder mount in the San Antonio area?
Prices vary by shop and the size of the deer, but most South Texas area taxidermists charge somewhere in the range of $400 to $700 for a standard whitetail shoulder mount. Larger bucks, custom poses, or habitat additions will add to that cost.
Is it worth getting a fish mount from a lake near San Antonio?
Calaveras Lake and Braunig Lake produce some large bass and catfish, and a mount of a personal best catch is absolutely worth it for many anglers. Ask your taxidermist whether a skin mount or replica makes more sense for the specific fish you caught.
What should I know about antler mounting options?
You can go with a simple panel mount, a European skull mount, or a shed antler display depending on what you have. Panel mounts are straightforward and affordable, while European mounts show the full skull and are popular for hunters who want a more natural look without a full shoulder mount.
Do I need to bring paperwork when I drop off a game animal?
Texas requires that game be tagged and documented according to TPWD regulations before it's processed or mounted. Your taxidermist will typically record information about the animal, so bringing your hunting license and any required tags is a good idea when you drop off.
