TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Victoria, Texas
Moncrief Services is a taxidermy studio located in Victoria, Texas that operates under the Bob Moncrief Taxidermist name and focuses on detailed, old-fashioned craftsmanship.
You can expect a full-time, family-run studio that prioritizes individual attention to each specimen over high-volume production.
Their work centers on high-quality bird, game head, and life-size mounts for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts who value detail more than price.
They work on a range of big game, small game, birds, and some exotics while declining certain species and any improperly documented or protected wildlife.
Available mount styles include bird mounts, game heads, full-body mounts, and custom habitat bases and scenes.
Owner Bob Moncrief has worked in taxidermy since high school and has operated his own studio since 1976, drawing on a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences and well over 35 years of hands-on experience.
He emphasizes realism and fine detail, using high-end materials and proven techniques to recreate natural poses, lifelike eyelids, and carefully designed habitat bases and splash scenes.
They do not post prices due to economic volatility and ask you to email for current rates, require a 50% deposit before mounting, and present themselves as a premium option when price is not the priority.
Typical turnaround is described as a longer wait, with a goal of completing work within about 8–12 months while keeping the workload controlled to protect quality.
They offer custom habitat bases and water splash scenes for bird mounts, skinning and tanning, and coordinated logistics and shipping for international trophies.
Limited but clearly positive online reviews describe the taxidermy work as amazing and high quality.
