Billington Ranch Taxidermy is owned and operated by Texas taxidermist Evelyn Mills, and her husband Mike Billington. It has been in operation since 1997. 

In 1995 Texas taxidermist Evelyn Mills began studying taxidermy under the supervision of two national certified taxidermist with one of them being a master taxidermist. In 1996 Evelyn Mills entered her first two mounts (two life-size raccoons in a snow scene) at the Texas state competition. The mounts won a first place ribbon as well as a second place. In 1997 she entered a boar shoulder mount and took a second place with it. 

Texas taxidermist Evelyn Mills became a national certified taxidermist in 1997 and opened her own studio, Billington Ranch Taxidermy located in Central Texas. Since then Evelyn Mills has entered several mounts and won awards in many more state competitions as well as national competitions. 

Texas taxidermist Evelyn Mills took a first place with a shoulder mount boar at the National competition in 2000 and a second place with a life-size coyote. The following year she was awarded the Award of Excellence from the National Taxidermy Association.

In 2004 Evelyn Mills entered a uromastyx lizard and took top score with it giving her the title of National Champion for reptiles.  She also taught a beginners whitetail deer fleshing seminar at the 2004 National competition.

Billington Ranch Taxidermy is an active member of the Texas State Taxidermy Association (TTAI) as well as the National Taxidermy Association (NTA).

For the last year Texas taxidermist Evelyn Mills has been writing articles on taxidermy for the www.hidetanning.net web site. The articles range from complete skull cleaning instructions to reptile taxidermy and specimen field care. If you plan to have Evelyn Mills mount your trophies, we suggest you visit the field care article at www. hidetanning.net for information on how to take care of your trophy in the field prior to bringing it to her.  Evelyn Mills is also continuously educating herself about new taxidermy techniques and products by attending as many seminars and conventions as possible. 

Texas taxidermist Evelyn Mills of Billington Ranch Taxidermy is striving to create the best mounts possible. Utmost attention is being paid to fine details and accurate anatomy of the animal as it occurs in nature. Her displays and habitats are very pleasing and natural looking. Her turnaround time ranges from approximately six month to eight month with a few exceptions taking longer.

Evelyn Mills believes that the building foundation of a great looking mount is proper tanning. That's why she sends all of her customer capes and large mammal skins to Advantage Fur Dressing in Houston which does a fantastic job on tanning them. Small mammal skins (up to the size of a coyote) are being tanned in shop, as Evelyn Mills found this to be the best way for those types of animals due to their thin skins. Unlike many other taxidermists, Evelyn Mills even tans all the reptile skins, whether they are for wall hanging purposes or life-size mounts.

All of Billington Ranch Taxidermy bases and habitats are being build in shop by Mike Billington. He brings with him over 30 years of experience as a sculptor and artist. His bases are one of a kind and no two will look exactly the same.
