This family-owned, full-time studio guides both seasoned and first-time hunters through preserving their animals with custom mount options and friendly, by-appointment service.
They operate as a full-service wildlife taxidermy shop, with a primary focus on big game and exotic trophies.
They work on a wide range of big game, small game, birds (turkey fans), and exotic trophies from North America, Africa, and beyond.
You can choose from shoulder and pedestal mounts, life-size habitat mounts, European and antler mounts, turkey fans, tanning for soft hides, and custom novelty taxidermy pieces.

They emphasize meticulous, highly detailed, lifelike work and belong to the Texas Taxidermy Association, reflecting a strong focus on realism and professional standards.
They describe their pricing as competitive and ask you to contact them directly for estimates, require a 50% deposit on mounts and full payment upfront for tannery services, and accept cash, checks, and major credit cards, with gift certificates and corporate gifts available.
Typical turnaround runs about 8–9 months for shoulder mounts and under 1 month for European mounts, and reviews note that their timing is often better than other taxidermists and can be very fast on some projects.
