TaxidermyXTaxidermist in Stanton, Texas
T5 Taxidermy & Processing is a taxidermy studio located in Stanton, Texas that also operates as a wild game processing shop serving the Permian Basin.
They provide full-service taxidermy, including life-size, shoulder, European mounts and tanning, alongside premium game processing in a one-stop, family-run facility.
Their focus is on timely, high-quality, award-winning taxidermy and individualized processing rather than high-volume production.
The studio primarily works on big game and wild game animals, accepting a limited range and number of trophies to maintain quality and attention to detail.
You can choose from life-size mounts, shoulder mounts, European mounts, and tanning services for your game.
Owner Matt Turney grew up hunting and fishing in West Texas, completed formal taxidermy training, learned all aspects of the craft, and continues to train with multiple World Champion taxidermists to stay current with innovative techniques.
They emphasize realistic, high-quality mounts and describe their taxidermy as top quality and award-winning, aiming to bring each trophy to life.
They publish detailed pricing for processing by the pound, list specific taxidermy-related fees and extras, and note that prices may change with supply and market conditions, so you should review their current price list or contact the shop for exact quotes.
The studio aims for taxidermy completion within about 12 months, strives to honor this target without guaranteeing exact dates, and expects pickups within 7 days of notification to avoid daily storage fees or potential forfeiture of unclaimed work.
In addition to taxidermy and game processing, they offer a climate-controlled, secure 24/7 walk-in cooler for drop-offs and sell Phantom and Elite blinds and Green Go feeders.
Reviewers strongly praise the quality and realism of both mounts and processed meat, often calling the taxidermy beautiful, amazing, and “second to none,” with high marks for packaging and vacuum sealing.
Customers describe the team as very friendly, professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and personable, with many planning to return for future mounts and processing.
Reviews highlight fast, reliable turnaround—often sooner than expected on large animals—though a few comments note mixed feelings about processing prices, with one customer feeling their bill was high.
T5 Taxidermy & Processing operates in Stanton, Texas and serves hunters and wild game customers across the Permian Basin region.
To move forward, you can contact the studio directly to discuss your trophy, confirm current pricing and timelines, or use their 24/7 climate-controlled drop-off cooler when bringing in game.
