Alpine Taxidermy

They handle a full range of North American big game, exotics, African game, birds, and fish, along with rugs, skull work, horn mounts, and tanning.

You can choose from shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, bird mounts, fish skin mounts, horn and European-style skull mounts, as well as rug work and tanning.

With 40+ years in business and a long track record in Fort Worth, they bring deep experience across a wide variety of game from local to international hunts.

Customers consistently highlight their realism, natural poses, and fine detail, often calling the work world-class and top of the line.

They publish a detailed price list by species and mount type, with examples such as $850 for a whitetail deer shoulder mount, $1,800 for an elk shoulder mount, $595 for a duck or dove, and per-inch pricing for many fish species; they also require full payment at drop-off for tanning and skull bleaching.

Reviews describe turnaround as on time or quicker than promised, with multiple customers noting 6‑month or faster completion and mounts sometimes finished earlier than expected.

As a USDA-certified facility, they manage international trophy clearance, shipping guidance, and restricted animal treatment, and they offer rug work plus trophy pickup from selected game processors in the region, sometimes waiving clearance and transportation fees when you complete mounts through their shop.
