A speed-goat buck is a classic western trophy — bold black-and-white face markings and horns like nothing else on the continent. Outlaw Taxidermy mounts pronghorn with the crisp detail those markings demand, bringing the same specialist-level care we are known for on birds to your big game. Serving hunters across Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada.
Because antelope are so unforgiving, most of this page is about getting your buck to us in shape to mount — do this right and the rest is easy.

The Field-Care Clock
First minutes — get it out of the sun
Move the buck into shade, keep it off hot ground, and do not pile it in a warm truck bed.
First hour — cool the cape
Open the body cavity to release heat if you are keeping meat, but keep the cape and head clean and cool. Do not let hair sit warm and damp.
Same day — caped & cold, or frozen
Get a properly caped hide to a taxidermist or into a freezer the same day. Roll it hair-in and bag it.
If in doubt — bring it whole
Not confident caping antelope? Get the whole head and cape to us cold, fast, and we will do the rest.

- Life-size — the full animal for a true standout trophy.
- European mount — a clean, whitened skull that highlights the pronged horns.
- Repair & restoration — loose horn sheaths, and old, faded antelope mounts brought back.
Why Hunters Trust Outlaw
We know the extra care antelope demand, and we treat every mount like it is going on our own wall. Quality forms, careful cape work, honest timelines. European mounts are the most affordable option; shoulder and life-size run higher. Reach out and we will quote you straight before any work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is pronghorn so hard to mount well?
Antelope hair is hollow and slips easily, and they are usually shot in warm early-season heat. Get the cape cool and to a taxidermist or freezer faster than any other big game, and handle the hair gently.
Can you do a European mount on an antelope?
Yes. A whitened European skull mount shows off the distinctive pronged horns and is a clean, affordable option.
Do the horn sheaths come off?
Pronghorn shed their horn sheaths, and they can loosen after death. Keep the sheaths with the skull and get everything to us; we will handle reattaching and finishing.
How long does a pronghorn mount take?
Roughly 6 to 12 months depending on backlog and style. We keep you posted throughout.
