Conroe Taxidermy

Conroe Taxidermy, based in Conroe, Texas, handles trophy preservation for hunters who've taken game from North America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific. The operation is run by Mike Simpson and serves clients looking for museum-quality mounts of their harvest.

North American Game covers standard hunting trophies: whitetail deer shoulder mounts start at $1,000 ($6,000 full-body), black bear at $1,430 shoulder/$7,150 lifesize, moose at $2,300/$13,300, and grizzly bear at $2,200/$8,800. They also handle exotics like axis deer, fallow deer, and various sheep species (Dall, Bighorn, Desert, Stone, Snow).

African Game represents their specialty work. Pricing reflects the complexity: Cape buffalo at $2,750 shoulder/$22,000 lifesize, lion at $3,350/$9,680, leopard at $1,800/$7,650, and giraffe at $9,300/$42,350 for full-body work. They mount smaller African species too—impala ($1,430/$6,000), hyena ($1,200/$4,675), and specialized cats like caracal, serval, and genet.

Europe, Asia & South Pacific includes marco polo sheep ($1,775/$9,075), sambar deer ($1,750/$9,900), ibex ($1,400/$6,450), and various other mountain game.

Beyond trophy mounting, Conroe Taxidermy offers tanning services, rug work (both flat and mounted styles), and novelty pieces. They handle import/export logistics for international specimens and work with hunter-clients who've booked safaris or traveled for expeditions.
