Had a great weekend with friends and family at the 2025 NWTF Sports Show and Convention in Nashville! I was fortunate enough to win Master of Masters Best of Show! There were some extremely talented competitors there, and I admire their work!! It really could have went either way, it was a tight finish,and I was fortunate for it to be my day. Congratulations to all award winners, it was great catching up with some Taxidermy friends from all over the country!

Thanks to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me!! Thanks to my family for sacrificing time with me so I could focus on this piece!

A lot of people asked me how I came up with the mouse idea. We raise Turkeys, chickens, and peacocks, and one day I was moving a feed barrel and 8 mice ran out, and the Turkeys and chickens ate them within 4 seconds. That’s when the idea was born and I worked for 6 weeks to bring it to life. I spent 3 years slip casting Turkey heads and trying to figure out the process and perfect it. I finally poured a head I was satisfied with. I hope y’all enjoy the pictures.

Good luck to everyone this Turkey season! Be safe and make some great memories!

We hit our quota on deer today! I cant thank everyone enough for the business and support each and every year!!

Like always, Turkey is our main focus and will continue to be! We are on schedule with our turnaround times being a year or less. I should have all the Turkey finished by season this spring, and will be ready to rock n roll on the new projects brought in! Thanks again for the support, I am so grateful for all of you! Everyone be safe, and good luck! See ya this Spring!

My client wanted this Osceola mounted with the left wing kicked out of pocket. He videoed the hunt and this is how he came into the decoy.

So thankful for great clients! Because of y’all I get to do what I enjoy!
