Services & Process

Wildlife Unlimited handles the full range of taxidermy work you'd expect from a Hill Country shop. Shoulder mounts for whitetail and exotic deer are a staple given the region's dense ranch hunting activity. Fish mounts, whether replicas or skin mounts, are available for anglers working the Pedernales River and nearby lakes. They also take on bird mounts for turkey and dove hunters, and can clean and prepare skulls for customers who prefer the European mount look over a traditional shoulder display.

Service Area

Wildlife Unlimited Taxidermy Etc. serves customers in Johnson City and throughout Blanco County. Hunters from nearby communities like Stonewall, Fredericksburg, and Marble Falls regularly make the short drive for local taxidermy work. The shop is well positioned to serve the broader Hill Country region.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a whitetail shoulder mount typically take in Johnson City?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from four to eight months depending on the taxidermist's current order volume and the time of year. Dropping off your cape right after deer season means you're likely in a queue with other hunters, so expect the longer end of that range.
Do I need to do anything special with my deer cape before bringing it in?
You'll want to keep the cape cool or frozen as soon as possible after the harvest. Avoid leaving it in a warm truck for hours, since slippage can damage the hair and make a quality mount much harder to achieve.
Can they mount exotic deer like axis or fallow from Hill Country ranches?
Yes, Hill Country taxidermists regularly work with exotic species given how many game ranches operate in this part of Texas. Axis deer, fallow deer, blackbuck, and similar exotics are common requests alongside native whitetail.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a replica fish mount?
A skin mount uses the actual fish skin stretched over a form, while a replica is a fiberglass reproduction painted to match your catch. Replicas tend to hold up better over time and allow catch-and-release anglers to still get a mount made.
How much does a typical deer shoulder mount cost in this area?
Pricing varies by taxidermist and the complexity of the pose, but whitetail shoulder mounts in the Texas Hill Country generally run between $400 and $700. Exotic species or larger animals will typically cost more.
Do I need an appointment to drop off a trophy, or can I just show up?
It's always a good idea to call ahead, especially during and right after deer season when shops get very busy. Calling first lets you confirm drop-off hours and make sure the taxidermist is available to go over the details of your mount with you.
