A local taxidermist in Tarrant has a unique profession that stems from his love and respect for animals. James Bacon's interest in taxidermy began when he was dissatisfied with the work of another taxidermist, prompting him to try it himself. Bacon, who is also a hunter, initially learned taxidermy from a book with basic illustrations.

He has kept his early attempts, despite their amateurish quality, as mementos. Further details about James Bacon's taxidermy work and experiences are available from the Fort Worth Report, which provides more insight into his story and profession.
