We just wrapped up 4 days of advanced taxidermy learning. This group was a pleasure to work with. Special thanks to Brian Olson, Jena and Abel Everidge for helping me teach this great group of people. Also Matuska taxidermy supply, PRO-1, and the Dodger Bowl for the amazing facility and food. We are hoping to do it again in the near future.

As many of you know the last few years I have been limiting my intake and transitioning out of commercial taxidermy into other business opportunities. It’s been a long process doing so but I’m excited to be able to capitalize on those opportunities starting this fall. Though I’ll still be doing plenty of taxidermy work I will not be taking in any customer work this fall. Im excited to be finishing up last year’s mounts in the coming months.
Also I have many messages to return about upcoming workshops. Currently I am still working on getting dates and details together, but I can say that we have a couple of pretty amazing class opportunities that I’m working on and I will let you all know about them soon.
Here’s a deer I recently finished on one of my original sculptures. CR

My last taxidermy workshop of 2024 was this past week. Reflecting back at my students achievements in taxidermy competitions just this year is absolutely amazing. I truly enjoy watching my peers reach their goals. I am ready to start scheduling workshops for this coming year and will be doing a handfull of group classes. These will be advanced deer and game-head classes and will have a limit of 5 students per class. Each class will be taught by myself and one other master instructor. Classes will start in January with specific dates to be determined shortly. Feel free to call or message for more details or to reserve your spot.
Enjoy some pictures of past students success from this year.

We spent a lot of time today getting our glass eyes ready to pack up!

For almost 3 years Tim and I have been working on developing multiple styles of eyes. Our glass white-banded Whitetail eye just happens to be the first one that we have brought to the finish line. We started from casting a real eye, making a lense, and MANY steps later we finally have a final product. Tim and I will continue to work tirelessly on our other innovative eyes that we plan debut in the coming months. Pre-sales on these glass eyes will start Monday and I will be live to tell you all about them!

We had a great time this week at the Wisconsin Taxidermy Championships. This year Alexa and I teamed up and mounted her axis deer she shot this fall. I am blessed.

If you are in or around the Stevens Point area Saturday stop by. Some of the best taxidermy in the country will be on display, definitely worth the trip.
