Hill Country Taxidermy

They work on big game, small game, predators, birds, and a broad range of exotic game from North America, Africa, Australia, and beyond.

Mount options include shoulder and wall pedestals, unique pedestal pieces, life-size mounts, skull/European mounts, horn panels, and bird mounts.

Owner and operator Rob Valle has been a full-time taxidermist since 2003, bringing about eighteen years of hands-on experience to the studio.

Their materials highlight professional tanning, respect for each animal, and custom design work tailored to your trophy and display needs.

They publish a detailed price list by species and mount type, with example prices such as European mounts starting around $150–$300 for many mammals and clearly posted rates for birds, tanning, horn panels, and miscellaneous upgrades, while some large or specialty pieces are priced on request.

Expect a stated turnaround of about 6–9 months, with a minimum 50% deposit at drop-off (tanning and migratory birds paid in full), and a range of payment options including cash, limited check use, major credit cards, PayPal, and Venmo.

Additional services include professional tanning, bird taxidermy, antler and horn repair, velvet preservation, custom pedestal and shoulder panels, habitat bases, and other custom display options.
