James Yarborough
James Yarborough is a born and raised Texan. The outdoors, ranching, hunting and wildlife have always been his passions. His desire to learn the trade of taxidermy arose while enrolled in a Wildlife Management program in Uvalde, TX. James built his skills through countless hours of self-teaching, study of wildlife anatomy, and observation of animals moving in their natural habitat and he is now recognized as a Master Taxidermist in the States of Texas and Oklahoma.
He began Yardbird's Taxidermy in his garage in 2011 and through hard work and perseverance is now running a thriving business out of his custom-built 4,000 sq. ft. taxidermy studio and trophy showroom.
His wife, Hillary, is a vital part of the business, acting as both accountant and pillow & rug maker. James and Hillary have two daughters, Fay and Penny, who love to spend time down at the shop, working with their dad and learning about the variety of animals and their names. The Yarborough's live on a beautiful piece of property in Liberty Hill and the family business is located right down the hill from their homestead.
