About Woodbury Taxidermy

Woodbury Taxidermy is located in Ingram, Texas, a small Hill Country town just a few miles west of Kerrville along the Guadalupe River. The studio has earned a 5-star rating and serves the hunters, anglers, and collectors who make up the core customer base in this scenic stretch of Kerr County. Ingram is close enough to major Hill Country hunting country to receive a steady flow of whitetail and exotic game trophies each season. A local studio here means personal service from someone who lives and hunts in the same terrain their customers do.

Services & Process

Woodbury Taxidermy provides mount work that Hill Country sportsmen regularly need after a productive season. Whitetail deer shoulder mounts are the bread and butter of any Hill Country studio, requiring precise form selection and careful attention to cape placement for a natural result. Exotic deer species like axis, sika, and fallow, which are plentiful on ranches throughout Kerr County, each have distinct body shapes and hide textures that call for different techniques. Fish mounts from the Guadalupe River or the region's many lakes offer anglers a way to preserve a record catch with the vivid coloring that fades quickly after death.

Service Area

Woodbury Taxidermy serves Ingram and the surrounding Kerrville metropolitan area, including customers from Center Point, Hunt, and Mountain Home. The studio's location along TX-39 makes it accessible to sportsmen coming from the upper Guadalupe River valley and the ranches west of Kerrville. Hunters from throughout Kerr County find Ingram a natural stopping point.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exotic species does Woodbury Taxidermy work with?
The Hill Country around Ingram has a high density of exotic game ranches, and studios in this area routinely work on axis deer, sika deer, fallow deer, blackbuck, and nilgai. Calling ahead to discuss your specific species is always the best first step.
How do I preserve a fish for mounting before I can get to the studio?
Keep the fish wet and cool for as long as possible, and get it into a freezer if you can't make it to the studio the same day. Avoid wrapping the fish too tightly or letting it dry out, since scale and fin damage before mounting limits the final result.
What's the best wall placement for a finished deer mount?
Mounts hold up best in climate-controlled rooms away from direct sunlight and moisture. Many customers place them in living rooms, dens, or offices where they can be enjoyed regularly without exposure to humidity that breaks down the hide over time.
Can Woodbury Taxidermy mount birds like quail or dove?
Bird mounts require delicate feather grooming and careful positioning, and many Hill Country studios do handle quail and dove alongside larger game birds like turkey. Confirming bird mount capabilities ahead of drop-off is a good idea since small bird work is more specialized.
How is an axis deer mount different from a whitetail mount?
Axis deer have longer, more complex antler formations than whitetail, and their spotted coats require careful color matching during the finishing process. A taxidermist familiar with both species will select forms specifically shaped for axis body proportions rather than adapting a whitetail form.
Do I need an appointment to drop off a trophy at Woodbury Taxidermy?
Calling ahead before your drop-off is always the right move, especially during peak hunting season when studios are busiest. It gives the taxidermist a chance to prepare and ensures you won't be turned away due to capacity.
