Graves Taxidermy

Graves Taxidermy works on big game, small game, birds, fish, Texas natives, exotics, and international trophies from Africa, Asia, South America, and North America.

They offer lifesize, shoulder, European, pedestal, half‑lifesize, and specialty mounts with options such as open‑mouth work, wall pedestals, horn plaques, removable antlers, and custom hardwood bases.

The studio reports over 20 years of professional experience and more than 15 years dedicated specifically to taxidermy work.

They emphasize museum‑quality craftsmanship, lifelike presentation, and pride in both their work and their Uvalde roots.

They publish a detailed 2024 price list with structured rates by species and mount type, including clear policies on deposits, extras, tanning fees, and rush charges, and encourage you to review these prices or contact them for specifics.

Prices are honored for one year after a 50% deposit, completed work must be paid for and picked up within 30 days to avoid storage fees, 90‑day rush jobs are available at double price, and all tanning is done at the client’s risk and paid in full up front.

Additional services include extensive tanning options, custom hardwood bases and habitat‑style presentations, pedestal and wall pedestal mounts, open‑mouth upgrades, horn plaques, and removable antlers.
