About Top Pin Taxidermy

Top Pin Taxidermy is located in Krum, Texas, a small community in Denton County that sits just north of Denton and not far from the Red River hunting country to the north. Denton County has grown fast over the past decade, but plenty of its residents still hold hunting leases and manage land for whitetail, turkey, and other game. Having a local taxidermist in the area means hunters don't have to drive deep into the Metroplex or rural Texas to get quality work done. Top Pin serves that practical need for a growing community with deep hunting roots.

Services & Process

Top Pin Taxidermy offers the kind of services that Denton County hunters and anglers look for after a productive season. Whitetail shoulder mounts are the most common request, and the process involves careful cape preparation, precise form fitting, and finishing details that bring the animal's expression to life. Turkey mounts, which can be done as full strutting displays or fan mounts with beard attached, are popular among hunters who take quality birds on North Texas leases. Skull cleaning, antler mounting, and fish mounts round out the service list for customers who want options beyond the standard shoulder presentation.

Service Area

Top Pin Taxidermy is based in Krum and serves the northern Denton County area, including customers from Denton, Sanger, Aubrey, and Pilot Point. Hunters who live or lease in neighboring Cooke and Wise counties also make the drive to Krum for local, accessible service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you do a full strutting turkey mount?
Full strutting mounts are one of the more dramatic display options for a trophy tom, showing the bird in full display with fanned tail and drooping wings. They take more time and wall or floor space than a simple fan mount, but they're a genuine showpiece for any hunting room.
Do you work on deer taken from high-fence ranches or exotics operations?
Yes, whitetail and exotic deer from high-fence operations are handled the same way as free-range animals from a taxidermy standpoint. The cape and antler quality on ranch deer is often exceptional, which can make for a particularly clean finished mount.
What's the minimum age requirement or deposit amount to drop off a trophy?
There's no age minimum for dropping off trophies, but deposits are typically required from all customers regardless of relationship with the shop. This is standard practice across the industry to cover the cost of forms and materials ordered specifically for your mount.
Can I get just a deer antler fan mount with no skull plate?
Antler-only panel mounts are definitely available and are a clean, minimal option for displaying a rack. The antlers are detached from the skull plate, cleaned, and mounted on a decorative panel with or without a name tag or date plate.
How do I care for a finished mount long-term?
Avoid hanging mounts in rooms with wide temperature swings or near fireplaces and vents. A gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth removes dust without damaging the finish, and keeping the mount out of direct sunlight prevents fading over the years.
Do you offer any kind of habitat or background panel behind the mount?
Some taxidermists offer habitat displays that add cedar branches, grass, or painted backgrounds behind or around a mount for a more naturalistic presentation. Ask at drop-off if this is something you're interested in, since it affects the total cost and timeline.
