Double Nickle Taxidermy is a taxidermy studio located in New Braunfels, Texas that operates as a full-service shop working on North American, exotic, and African trophies.
They describe themselves as steadfast, innovative, and straightforward, focused on delivering service that is second to none at a practical price while continually studying and refining their artistic skills.
They work on a wide range of big game, small game, exotics, African game, and some fish, offering both shoulder and life-size mounts along with tanned hides and related pieces.
You can choose from shoulder mounts, full-body mounts, and tanned hides, with additional options like pillows and other specialty pieces derived from hides.
Owner Jon Wilson and his team are portrayed as passionate, continually learning taxidermy artists, and Wilson’s book "Taxidermy Life" underscores his professional experience in the field.
Reviews consistently highlight top-notch, realistic, and artistic work across many species, with many repeat clients trusting them for high-end, long-lasting mounts.
They publish a detailed 2025–2026 price list and offer many example prices online, positioning their rates as practical and value-focused, and often ask you to call the front office for specific pricing or purchasing details.
Reviewers generally view turnaround times for mounts as reasonable to fast for the industry, though some note that outsourced tanning and hides can take a year or more and have occasionally led to problems.
In addition to taxidermy, they sell finished mounts, tanned hides, pillows, custom wood pedestals and bases, branded hats, and the "Taxidermy Life" book through their shop and online store.
Customers overwhelmingly praise the quality and realism of the mounts, calling the work artistic, world-class, and consistently impressive across deer, elk, African game, exotics, and hides.
Most reviews describe the staff as friendly, courteous, and helpful, with good communication, updates, and progress photos, though a few reviewers report serious service issues around how mistakes and lost items were handled.
Many long-term and repeat clients mention reliable timelines and even early completions for mounts, while also noting that off-site tanning can involve long waits and, in rare cases, lost or discarded hides.
They are based in New Braunfels, Texas, with a convenient location off I‑35 and an impressive showroom that draws hunters and families from the broader region.
