History

Established in 1997.

Billington Ranch Taxidermy is owned and operated by Evelyn Billington and her husband Mike. Billington Ranch Taxidermy is a full time taxidermy business, and has been in operation since 1997. All hides and capes at Billington Ranch Taxidermy are sent to a professional tannery in the Houston area. Utmost attention is given every mount to recreate the particular animal in an anatomical correct manner. Billington Ranch Taxidermy does not allow short cuts and each trophy is given the same attention, whether it is a raccoon, a child’s first deer, a Boone and Crockett whitetail or a high dollar African safari. All of our clients are treated in a fair and professional manner on a first come basis. Turnaround times on most trophies are 8 to 10 months.

Evelyn and Mike Billington of Billington Ranch Taxidermy continuously thrive to improve their quality with each mount and continue to attend seminars at the yearly taxidermy conventions well as continuing their studies of animal anatomy.
