Find the Best Taxidermists in Oklahoma

Terry’s Taxidermy & Wild Game Processing, located at 9201 W Reno Avenue in Oklahoma City, has grown from a single craftsman’s passion into one of the state’s largest and most established shops, serving Oklahoma hunters since 1982. Owner Terry Mayberry and a professional staff of taxidermists specialize in lifelike trophy mounts that capture the unique character of each animal, from first-buck deer and elk to African and exotic game, fish, birds, and reptiles. The operation also runs a USDA-approved wild game processing plant that turns deer, elk, hogs, and other legally taken game into custom cuts and specialty products such as jalapeño-and-cheese summer sausage, snack sticks, and breakfast sausage. Professional hide tanning and custom rugs complement the mount work, giving hunters a true one-stop destination that fills both the freezer and the wall. A 13,000-square-foot production facility, 2,500-square-foot showroom, and after-hours night-drop cooler keep the shop accessible throughout Oklahoma’s hunting seasons.

Oklahoma Taxidermy Studio in Norman has served hunters across the state since 2003, building a reputation for award-winning mounts that preserve the look and character of each animal. Operated by Robby Boyd, a member of the Oklahoma Taxidermists Association, the studio focuses on lifelike trophy work that includes wall pedestals and game-head mounts for whitetails and other Oklahoma game. Clients turn to the shop to recapture the details of a hunt rather than simply freeze an animal in place, and finished pieces regularly leave the studio ready for display. The business remains closely tied to the local outdoor community, including Oklahoma bowhunters who bring bucks and other trophies in for custom mounting.

Casa De Taxidermy & Wild Game Processing operates from 2350 South Highway 76 in Newcastle as an award-winning, full-service shop for hunters across McClain County and the southern Oklahoma City metro. The studio takes on projects of every size, pairing custom taxidermy with wild game processing so a single drop-off can cover both a trophy mount and meat for the freezer. Processing includes ground game packaged in one-pound vacuum-sealed bags designed for cleaner storage and longer shelf life. During peak hunting season the shop stays busy with opening-day and in-season traffic, positioning itself as a local one-stop stop rather than a mount-only studio. Hunters can reach the business at (405) 392-5597 or through its Facebook page at facebook.com/FTATaxidermy.

Buddy’s Wildlife Taxidermy is a Roff, Oklahoma shop owned by Buddy Andrews, serving hunters who want custom wildlife mounts rather than a high-volume processing plant. The studio is known among Oklahoma bowhunters for careful deer work, including named trophy bucks brought in from across the state, and Andrews has also taken on larger game such as bears and buffalo. He and his wife run the shop as a hands-on family operation, meeting clients at drop-off and following each mount through to finish. That small-town, owner-operated approach is what draws hunters to make the trip to Roff when they want a trophy preserved with personal attention.

Backwoods Taxidermy is a long-running Oklahoma City studio at 11600 SE 44th Street that preserves hunting trophies with lifelike shoulder, life-size, and European mounts. The shop works across North American and international game, including deer, elk, bison, bear, fish, birds, reptiles, and exotics, and also offers tanning, rugs, and custom habitat displays. A published price list and a deer drop-off station at Sallee Meat Processing in Guthrie make it easier for hunters to plan the work and get animals in during the season. Beyond the studio, Backwoods Guided Adventure books hunts for species such as whitetail, mule deer, elk, antelope, and bear. Together, the taxidermy bench and the guided-trip side give Oklahoma hunters a single outfit for both the field and the wall.

Bauman's Taxidermy Studio is owned and operated by wildlife artist Kenneth Bauman, who has been in taxidermy since 1989. He is a 2-time National Champion, North American Champion, and World Champion, a 2012 inductee to the Oklahoma Taxidermists Association Hall-of-Fame, an OKTA certified master taxidermist, and has earned the NTA Award of Excellence. He holds 17 state champion honors with fish, whitetails, reproductions, reptiles, and gameheads.

Mote’s Taxidermy and Wildlife Artistry, based in Tuttle, Oklahoma, is the studio of Wes Mote, a 2022 World Champion whitetail taxidermist and two-time world title holder whose work treats the hunt as fine art rather than mere preservation. Raised on a southern Oklahoma farm, Mote began taxidermy in 2015 after military service and quickly rose through state, North American, and World Taxidermy Championships, earning Breakthrough honors along the way for mounts prized for anatomy, expression, and finish. The shop specializes in high-end wildlife work—especially whitetail—while Mote has also become a sought-after instructor, teaching advanced classes in his own layer-casting methods and watching former students claim world, national, and North American titles. He now judges association shows as well, extending the same exacting eye he brings to the bench. For hunters and collectors who want a mount that captures a living moment, Mote’s studio has become one of Oklahoma’s most respected addresses in competitive wildlife artistry.
