First hyrdo-dip experiment was a roaring success!!!

It's been a while since I've posted an update on this page. I still have several projects in the works, but between some scheduling concerns and the weather, I'm a little backed-up. Be on the lookout for more posts as we get closer to spring. More European mounts on the way, and I will start some projects involving hydro dipping as well.

Working on smaller projects to keep busy. I probably put way too much work into a red squirrel, but it turned out pretty well!

It looks like it's going to be a good year for deer!
I'm looking forward to seeing what this year's harvest brings us. I'll be working on European mounts for all who are interested, just contact me for more info. If you are looking for other options or ideas to memorialize your hunt, or to put as much of the animal to good use as possible, please consider these other options.

Indiana DNR is putting out drop-off containers for CWD testing and tracking. Deer heads can be dropped into designated coolers at select FWAs and SFHs, or hunters may make an appointment for their harvested deer to be sampled by a biologist during office hours. Hunters who submit a deer for CWD testing will receive a metal tag reminiscent of Indiana’s historical deer harvest confirmation process.

If you harvest a doe or small buck and have no intention of keeping anything for a trophy, I am accepting donations of whatever you don't use. I intend to use the animal to practice other areas of taxidermy, and I promise to put as much as I can to good use. Contact me for more info.

This weekend is Youth Deer Season!
Remember your hunt with a European mount. Every skull is carefully cleaned, whitened, detailed, and mounted to your liking.
Message me for more info.
