I normally have a very quick turnaround on heads, but depending on the time of year, and what is going on ministry wise, depends on how fast I can get your trophy back to you! I always tell people that I enjoy my hobby, but I love my ministry; so I am a minister first and a taxidermist as the Lord allows! Have a blessed hunting season!

First buck


I just finished the first buck for the fall, funny enough it was from 2009. I was brought a buck that was shot on the opening weekend of deer season last year, and had set outside since that time. The hide had securely adhered itself to the skull, and had turned to rock solid leather. Also the horns had been bleached to an ash gray color, and began feeling chalky in texture. Fortunately for the buck owner I was able to remove all of the old hide, and re-color the horns to a very natural looking color. Check out the before-and-after pictures below and also the completed work on the right side of the screen named "Mr. O'brien 2009 Buck 2"

Looking forward to the Fall 2010 Hunting Season

I am in full swing with the Fall 2010 advertising in the Ellis and Navarro County areas, and I am looking to serving each and every one of you and your Eurpoean Mounting needs. I have posted my new posters and business cards and hope that you can recognize them in your area. Please write and tell me what you think. If you return one of my cards to me, when you bring your animal in to be mounted, you will recieve a 10% discount on the total cost of the mount, not including tax. I hope each of you have a safe and blessed 2010 hunting season.
