About Us

Mike Levee was raised in Freeport, Texas, and grew up in a very active hunting family and was always interested in taxidermy. He apprenticed with many great taxidermist for several years and finally opened his first business in Brenham, Texas.

A few years later the decision was made to move his family and business to College Station, Texas. Mike then reopened a larger taxidermy business next to the A&M Campus.

In the 1980's the oil business went bust and Mike and Dana made the choice to close their doors and move

to Austin, Texas. Mike went to work as a Construction Manager and continued his taxidermy business from home, where both of his son's began to help him at a very young age. As the economy picked up, he once again opened his taxidermy business in Anderson Mill, north of Austin. His dream was to one day move his business to Freer, Texas, where he grew up hunting as a boy.

In 1994 Mike and son, Shane, went to Freer, Texas, and opened a small drop station for the hunting season. He began serving many of his customers from Austin, as well as many new one's. Shane began working with him, skinning, quartering the animals and preparing the hides and horns for mounting. Customers kept asking for more items such as deer corn, feeder parts, etc.. Mike's wife, Dana, and son James made the move to Freer in 1997. They lived in the back part of the current location for a few years while growing there business.

In 2000, the Levee's incorporated their business as Freer Deer Camp & Sportsman Taxidermy, Inc.. The business has become known as Freer Deer Camp.

Freer Deer Camp became the first hunting business to offer taxidermy, processing, storage, feed and a full line of hunting supplies under one establishment. We were proud to be "The One Stop Shop for the South Texas Hunter". We are a Double Down Dealer, carry Chippewa Boots, Game Guard Camo, Pure Mesquite Camo, Bushlan Blinds and Krivoman Blinds.
