Hill Country Hides

They work on a broad range of big game and small game species, plus antler-only projects and hides, with no fish work listed.

Available mount styles include shoulder mounts, full-body and half life-size mounts, European mounts, antler and horn mounts, and tanned hides that can be turned into rugs or custom pieces.

Jackie, a hunter and former police officer as well as a TCOLE Firearms Instructor, serves as head taxidermist, while Jeff brings 15 years of experience running a high-volume shooting range and extensive firearms and hunting background.

Reviews consistently highlight the artistry, beautiful finish, and impressive realism of both the taxidermy work and custom laser engraving.

They publish detailed, itemized pricing, with clear rates for tanning, European, shoulder, and life-size mounts, as well as custom hide pillows, antler services, laser engraving, Cerakote, and firearms training classes.

Published timelines estimate about 6–8 months for dry tanning, around 6 months for most European mounts (8–10 months for hogs), and roughly 12–14 months for shoulder mounts, with software and email updates used to keep you informed on progress.

Additional services include rugs, custom habitat bases, freeze-dried antler velvet, antler repair and detachable antlers, hide photo engraving, laser engraving on firearms, cups, leather and other items, Cerakote, and handgun and Texas License to Carry training through their in-house gun shop.
