About Tonya Huffman Taxidermy

Tonya Huffman Taxidermy operates out of Springtown, Texas, a Parker County community sitting between Fort Worth and Weatherford in the heart of North Texas. Parker County has a strong hunting tradition, with ranches and leases producing whitetail, hogs, and turkey across the rolling terrain west of the Metroplex. Running a taxidermy business under your own name says something about accountability and pride in the craft. Springtown hunters have a nearby, personally invested option for preserving their trophies rather than shipping them across the state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it common for women to work in taxidermy?
Women taxidermists are well represented in the industry and frequently win top honors in state and national competitions. Skill and attention to detail matter far more than gender, and many customers specifically seek out women-owned shops for the personalized approach they tend to offer.
Can you mount hogs and exotic animals from Texas ranches?
Yes, feral hog mounts are common in Parker County, and many taxidermists also handle exotics like axis deer, nilgai, and aoudad brought in from nearby Hill Country ranches. Call ahead to confirm the specific species and discuss any unique preparation requirements.
How do I transport a large animal to the taxidermist safely?
For deer, cape the animal in the field and keep the hide rolled flesh-side out in a cool, dry place or on ice. Larger animals like hogs or exotics may need to be brought in whole if you're unsure how to cape them, so the taxidermist can handle the initial preparation.
Do you offer fish reproductions instead of skin mounts?
Fish reproductions are painted fiberglass replicas made from measurements and photos of your catch, so you can release the fish and still get a mount. Many anglers prefer reproductions for their durability and the ability to catch-and-release trophy fish.
What should I bring when I drop off my trophy?
Bring the capped hide or frozen specimen, any photos you took of the animal in the field, and a clear idea of where the mount will be displayed. Field photos help the taxidermist match pose and expression to the actual animal rather than relying on generic references.
How long should I expect to wait for my mount during deer season?
Peak deer season, from October through January, is the busiest time for Texas taxidermists, and turnaround times can stretch to eight months or more. Dropping off early in the season or asking about off-season discounts can sometimes reduce the wait.
