Taxidermists in Midland County, Texas

Midland County is mostly flat scrubland and oil fields, but it sits in a prime spot for hunters traveling between the Edwards Plateau and the Trans-Pecos. While most local hunters head west for mule deer or south for whitetail and exotics, finding a shop nearby to handle your trophy is essential. Having a local option right in town saves you a long drive to the larger cities when you need to drop off a cape or pick up a finished mount.

Brosig's Custom Taxidermy in Midland serves the immediate area for those looking to preserve a harvest from the surrounding ranch land. Whether you are coming back from a lease in the Permian Basin or a hunt further out in the Big Bend region, you can find professional services without leaving the county. The focus here is on quality work that stands up to the dry West Texas climate.

Using taxidermists in Midland 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.
