Taxidermist in Pearsall, TX
A South Texas taxidermy studio focused on whitetail deer mounts, offering a range of standard poses plus custom work arranged through in-person consultation. The shop states that customer work is held to the same standards as its competition pieces. Owner James Newport has competed at state, national, and world levels, with placements including 2nd and 3rd in the World, North American Champion, two national titles, and nine state titles; staff taxidermist Mark Hernandez is a 2019 National Champion and multiple-time Texas and Louisiana state champion. The studio also sells branded hats, shirts, and drinkware, and carries Double Down deer feed.
The studio is a family-run small business owned by James and Carla Newport. James has worked in taxidermy for more than 20 years, and Carla has served as shop manager for over a decade. A support crew handles behind-the-scenes work so the taxidermists can concentrate on mounts.
