About

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.

Why we like Backwoods Taxidermy

Backwoods Taxidermy belongs at #5 among Oklahoma City taxidermy businesses because it pairs a full mount catalog with guided hunting, giving hunters one outfit for both the field and the wall. From its east-side studio on SE 44th Street, the shop produces shoulder, life-size, and European mounts for deer, elk, bison, bear, fish, birds, reptiles, and African or exotic game, plus tanning and rugs. A published price list and a deer drop-off station at Sallee Meat Processing in Guthrie make seasonal drop-offs practical for hunters outside the city. Backwoods Guided Adventure books trips for whitetail, mule deer, elk, antelope, and bear, and the shop stays visible at outdoor events such as the Hunting and Fishing Expo. That mix of decades in Oklahoma City, broad species work, and a hunt-to-mount path is what sets the business apart.
