MEET THE TAXIDERMIST

Where Rugged Nature Meets Meticulous Artistry

Located in the heart of South Texas brush country, Critter Collins Taxidermy and Restoration is owned and operated by a passionate outdoorswoman who believes that every trophy tells an unforgettable story. For hunters, the harvest is a culmination of patience, tracking, and deep respect for the animal.

Our studio is dedicated to honoring that memory. We bring a uniquely delicate, precise feminine touch to a traditionally rugged field. This means extreme attention to anatomical correctness, soft transition detailing, lifelike facial expressions, and advanced preservation techniques designed to last generations.
