Taxidermy A to Z
When we receive your trophy, we collect a 50% deposit to begin work. Our taxidermy studio manager will go over options with you on how to mount your trophy from Wall Pedestal, Shoulder Mount, Life-size, Pedestal Base, etc. Next, we will remove the cape from the head of the animal, skull cap and remove horns if necessary. Measurements are taken on the animal, the skins are sent to our tannery, and the horns, antlers, and skull cap boiled.
We typically receive the tanned capes back from our tannery within 2-3 months, and then begin the artisic process.
The Taxidermist will apply your original skull cap, horns, antlers or teeth, build up your form adding clay to create a realistic replica of your mount. The capes are reconditioned, stretched and then applied to the form. Detailed finishing work is the next step and typically takes a week, and finally any other details applied i.e. base, pedestal, wall-hanging taxidermy, etc. We have multiple pedestal options to show and choose from for your Life size, Half-life size, and Pedestal Taxidermy Mounts
Upon completion of the taxidermy work, we will contact you to arrange pick up or crating and shipping details. The final balance is due at this time, before the mounts are picked up at our studio or shipped. If you would like your taxidermy to be shipped, we can arrange to do so either via UPS or Freight...crating and shipping charges will be applied.

Taxidermy from Africa
This year, we received nearly 150 trophies taken from Africa. Should you decide to use Wildlife Market Taxidermy, we will provide you with Taxidermy tags to take with you on your African Safari to have your Outfitter apply to your skins, skull, horns and backhides you want to bring back to the United States to mount. They will forward your trophies on to an expeditor in Africa, to have shipped to us, via our importer in Texas. All of the import information will be printed on the Taxidermy Tags we provide you to take on your Safari.
Also, inquire with us about discounts on multiple trophies taken on your African Safari.

Taxidermy Completion Time
One of the biggest issues hunters have with taxidermists is the Turn-Around time in getting your mounts back to you. Depending on the time of year, our normal completion time to complete your taxidermy work, is approximately 6 months, twice as quick as most other taxidermy studios.
