Shoal Creek Taxidermy

Shoal Creek Taxidermy works on big game, small game, birds, fish, exotics, and other non-pet wildlife, but does not accept domestic pets like dogs or cats.

They offer shoulder mounts, full-body and lifesize mounts, European and game head mounts, bird and fish work including replicas, rugs, and custom habitat displays.

Owner Matt Harris brings military discipline from 20 years in the Army, hands-on experience with other taxidermists, formal classes, and mounting experience across North American, African, and Asian species, while co-owner Chrissy Harris manages operations and contributes to habitat work and mounts.

Matt competes in taxidermy competitions and has earned multiple ribbons and specialty awards, and the studio emphasizes durable, professional, and long-lasting mounts over high-speed, low-cost work.

Shoal Creek Taxidermy positions its pricing as local and affordable, aiming for high-quality materials and workmanship at fair, mid-range prices, with quotes available by phone and optional delivery and setup for an additional fee.

Reviews mention timely completion and satisfaction with how quickly work was returned, though specific turnaround times are not listed.

Additional services include restoration, wholesale and outsourcing work for other taxidermists—especially waterfowl and turkeys—commercial and camp displays, custom habitats, and pickup, delivery, and setup options.
