Services & Process

Southeast Texas taxidermy work draws heavily from the region's coastal and bottomland hunting, with white-tailed deer, feral hogs, and waterfowl being among the most common requests. Duck and goose mounts from hunters working the rice field country south of Houston are a specialty in this region, requiring careful feather work and realistic water or field settings. Full body mounts for alligators, a unique Southeast Texas trophy, involve specialized hide preparation unlike anything needed for mammal work. Fish mounts for redfish, flounder, and largemouth bass are also popular given how close Brazos Bend is to both coastal bays and the Brazos River itself.

Service Area

Texas Made Taxidermy serves Brazos Bend and the greater Fort Bend County region, with easy access for customers from Rosenberg, Richmond, Missouri City, and Sugar Land. Hunters and anglers from the broader Houston metro area also make the trip out for taxidermy work in this part of Southeast Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a taxidermist in Brazos Bend handle alligator mounts?
Alligators are a recognized trophy in this part of Texas, and some local taxidermists have specific experience with gator hides, which require different tanning processes than deer or hog hides. Always ask directly about alligator experience before bringing one in.
How do I preserve a duck or goose for mounting after the hunt?
Keep the bird cool and dry, avoiding water that can damage feathers. Wrap it in a paper bag or dry cloth rather than plastic, and freeze it as soon as possible without washing or plucking anything.
Can I get a mount of a saltwater fish like a redfish or speckled trout?
Yes, saltwater fish are commonly mounted in Southeast Texas. Reproductions are often recommended since they eliminate the need to keep the actual fish, and the colors can be painted very accurately from your reference photos.
What is a habitat display and how much does it add to the cost?
A habitat display incorporates natural-looking elements like rocks, branches, grass, or water surfaces to give the mount a realistic setting. These custom bases add to the overall cost but make a significant visual difference, especially for waterfowl or predator mounts.
Are there any legal restrictions on mounting certain birds or animals in Texas?
Federal law prohibits mounting migratory birds without the proper licenses and proof of legal harvest. Taxidermists working with ducks, geese, and doves need to see your hunting license and harvest documentation before accepting the work.
How long does a waterfowl mount typically take to complete?
Duck and goose mounts generally take six months to a year, depending on complexity and how busy the shop is after the hunting season. Habitat display builds can add time if custom woodwork or water panel construction is involved.
