Mesquite Creek Taxidermy Studio

James and Carla Newport run a family operation that's earned serious hardware. James is a multi-award-winning taxidermist with competition placements at the state, national, and world level—including 2x National Champion and 9x State Champion. Mark Hernandez, their lead taxidermist, brings nearly 20 years of experience and is a 2019 National Champion with 4x Texas State Champion titles.

"Our focus is producing high-quality trophies to help you relive your hunt. All of our customer work is held to the same standards as our competition pieces."

They don't treat client mounts as secondary work. Every piece gets the same craftsmanship as their award entries.

They offer Semi-Sneak Series mounts that mimic natural posing—bucks moving through brush rather than static poses. Custom forms and variations available, including wall pedestals, lifesize displays, and carved mesquite bases. Portfolio includes whitetail, bobcat, exotic game (zebra, stone sheep, desert bighorn), and specialty pieces.

Located in Pearsall, sitting adjacent to the Golden Triangle—the hottest whiteail region in Texas. Counties like Dimmit, Zavala, and Webb are nationally recognized for record-book buck production. They partner with Diamond D Outfitters for referrals and high-quality hunting experiences.
