TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Brady, Texas
Damuth Taxidermy Inc is a taxidermy studio located in Brady, Texas, operating as a large, full-service shop since 1979.
They run a high-capacity, professionally staffed studio that serves serious hunters, including international safari clients, from a 13,400‑square‑foot facility with on-site cold storage and full security.
The studio focuses on detailed, lifelike work across African, North American, Asian, South American, and other exotic trophies, along with birds, fish, rugs, tanning, and custom trophy-room design.
They handle a broad range of big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, and other hunting trophies from multiple continents.
You can choose from shoulder mounts, life-size mounts, European-style skull work, bird mounts, rugs, and custom pedestal and habitat-style displays.
In business since 1979, owner Gary Damuth is an award‑winning state and national taxidermist who specializes in African and North American animals and is a certified scorer for the Pope and Young Club and Safari Club International.
They stress craftsmanship and longevity, using top commercial tanneries, avoiding shortcuts in tanning, mounting, and finishing, and critiquing each mount inside and out for realism and durability.
Damuth Taxidermy Inc publishes detailed price lists by species and mount type, requires a 50% deposit before work begins, and notes that extra charges may apply for pedestals, wall pedestals, open mouths, custom habitats, hardwood bases, velvet work, reproductions, shipping, crating, and boxing, with some items priced per piece, per inch, or P.O.R.
They aim to complete work in roughly 10–12 months from receipt of deposit but ask customers to allow 12–15 months, offer optional rush service for an additional fee, and notify you by mail or email when your mounts are ready.
The studio also offers tanning services, horn and antler reproductions, rugs, custom molded rock and snow habitats with hardwood bases, full custom trophy-room design and construction, finished mounts for sale, and coordination of domestic and international shipping.
Reviewers consistently praise the mounts as beautiful, highly detailed, and life-like, often saying the work surpasses their expectations and keeps them coming back with more trophies.
Customers describe the team as friendly, kind, and professional, citing great customer service, clear communication, and an enjoyable experience working with the owners and staff.
Some reviewers note that turnaround can be long due to workload, but they still strongly recommend the studio, and several appreciate that rush service is available at a fair price when faster completion is needed.
