    Animal Mount Details

    Morton's Taxidermy works on a wide range of big game and exotics, including North American and exotic species, with options for both traditional mounts and European skull work.

    They regularly create shoulder mounts, wall pedestal mounts, full life-size mounts, and European mounts, with optional custom bases and habitat work.

    Josiah graduated from the Central Texas School of Taxidermy in 2023, training under school owner and life-long taxidermist Jason Bynum, and has built a growing studio since then.

    Reviews consistently highlight lifelike poses, clean and detailed finish work, and mounts that capture the memory of the hunt.


    Pricing & Turnaround

    Pricing is structured by species and mount type, with published rate tables for North American game, exotics, and European mounts—for example, shoulder mounts start around $700–$900 for many species, with European skull work often in the $150–$350 range.

    Texas residents must add 8.25% sales tax, a 50% non-refundable deposit is due at drop-off, extra charges may apply for custom bases, habitat, panels, form alterations, capes, horns in velvet, open-mouth work, and skinning, and customers should contact the studio directly for an exact quote and current turnaround.

    The studio offers custom bases and habitat-style presentations, tanning accepted at the owner’s risk, and requires appropriate tagging documentation at drop-off when applicable.
