Taxidermists in Jefferson County, Texas

Jefferson County offers limited options for local taxidermy, but the salt marsh and coastal prairie habitat produces plenty of work for a shop. Hunters in this region primarily bring in ducks from the marshes near Sabine Pass or white-tailed deer taken from the brushy pockets further inland. If you are looking to get a mount done within the county, Nederland is the primary hub where you can drop off your harvest.

Wersig's Custom Taxidermy in Nederland handles local game and waterfowl for area hunters. Having a local professional saves you from driving into Beaumont or Houston to drop off a cape or bird. Whether you are hunting the coastal flyway or lease land near the county line, these services help preserve a trophy without a long haul across Southeast Texas.

Using taxidermists in Jefferson County

A taxidermist takes your cape and antlers, preps and tans the hide, then mounts the animal on a form. Most shops want the cape caped out and frozen, or the whole head delivered cold and unfrozen within a day or two of the kill.

What to ask before you commit

What is your current turnaround time, in months?
Do you tan in-house or send hides out?
What deposit do you require, and is it applied to the final price?
Can I see finished mounts of the same species?
How should I care for the cape before I bring it in?

What it usually costs

Shoulder mounts commonly run several hundred to well over a thousand dollars depending on species, form and finish work. European mounts are typically the least expensive option. Deposits of 30-50% are standard.

Timing matters

Get the cape cold fast. Do not salt or freeze a cape you plan to have mounted without asking the shop first — hair slip from a warm hide is the single most common ruined mount.
