Animal Mount Details
The studio works on big game, small game, predators, birds, and exotics, and also offers replica fish.
They provide shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, bird mounts, turkey fan mounts, and custom habitat scenes designed to fit trophy rooms and displays.
Cypress Slough Taxidermy has been mounting game birds and big game since 2014, turning Chuck’s lifelong hunting and fishing experience into a professional, award-recognized studio.
They emphasize meticulous craftsmanship, lifelike detail, natural poses, and one-of-a-kind custom work aimed at preserving the story behind each hunt.
Pricing & Turnaround
They publish a detailed price list by species and mount type, require a 50% deposit at drop-off, offer payment plans, and note that driftwood is included with bird and fish mounts, with examples ranging from around $495 for small bird mounts to several thousand dollars for large life-size big game pieces.
Typical turnaround for bird and big game mounts is about 6–8 months from deposit, and reviews frequently note fast or quicker-than-expected delivery and that work is completed when promised.
They offer custom wildlife habitat bases and scenes, antler repair and restoration work, trophy room pieces and consulting, replica fish, merch such as T-shirts, and ship both incoming birds and finished mounts nationwide.
What Customers Say
Reviewers consistently praise the realism and artistry of the mounts—especially birds and waterfowl—calling the work competition-worthy and some of the best they have seen or own.
Customers describe service and communication as friendly, professional, and personalized, saying Chuck listens to what they want, takes pride in his work, and makes them feel like family.
Reviews highlight reliable, often faster-than-expected turnaround and strong overall value for the price, with many repeat clients stating they will not use another taxidermist; one unexplained 1-star rating appears without any negative written feedback.
