We are a USDA certified, full service, custom taxidermy studio with years of experience in the industry and specifically with African and exotic animals. We are right here in Texas and ship coast to coast. You don’t have to settle with sub par work that is done 5,000 miles away. Give me a shout, I’d love to personally help bring your cherished memories back to life.

There you go again Erik, teasing. All those awesome pics in one post. Too bad you are almost as far away in NA as possible. Now if you were a CFIA taxidermist say in Vancouver that would be good, hell I would work for you real cheap for continued experience.

I am still at a loss how you hide all the rips, cuts and huge scares on your African mounts. Last eland I did, skin had major shrinkage when drying, the dam sewed as tight as possible cuts still pulled/opened a little, even with my best epoxy and paint fixes they were still visible.

You know I enjoy your taxidermy done pics. Maybe tease me/us with an armadillo?

Thanks

Mark
 
Wonderful work there. I always enjoy your taxidermy pics, top notch for sure!
 
I have to brag about Erik & ToT for the excellent work on my EC trophies I got with KMG Safaris! The caracal-blue duiker combo shown above is mine. They also did a really nice mount of my MX Goulds turkey. Some more pics are below.

@gebo824 thank you sir and thank you for letting me run with those animals. That was a lot of fun and I love it that you love them!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your kind words.

Man, that’s a good looking Cape buffalo! Can’t wait to see how it looks in the house.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
