Short and sweet- I’ve got room for about 15 more. May the odds be ever in your favor 😂😮‍💨

Lots of big feelings today. Spent maybe an hour walking and saw 2 little does and a small buck. Then this guy showed his face, hobbling and visibly wounded. He didn’t look like the trophy buck I had pictured, but for the second time in my hunting career, I had to do the moral thing. So I put him down and spent 45 minutes crying for the pain he was in before I found him. My sweetheart and parents showed up to help me get him out of the woods. I take the old 20 gauge out every year. It was my great grandfather’s gun, who passed it to my dad, who let my mom use it when she started hunting, who gave it to me when I started hunting. It’s killed a lot of deer and did the job again. Thankful for the meat, thankful for the filled tag, and bittersweet feelings that I just happened to cross paths with this 8 point and end his suffering. Wish I wasn’t faced with this situation again, but thankful at the same time.

So here’s the thing… we aren’t even finished with archery season yet, and I’ve already got half of my total intake from last year in 🤯 you guys are killas!

As a lot of you already know, within the next month or two, I’m finally going to be moving into my new shop once it’s finished. Don’t worry, I’ll keep everyone posted on the address and date when that happens. For now, business is still conducted at the Colvin rd shop.

While talking about moving to a new shop, I realize how much stuff I’m going to have to move 😂 I have a coyote that I’m hoping to ‘rehome’. I have the hide and supplies, but it’s not mounted yet. Pictured is the pose that it will be, I did not mount the one below! The hide coloring will look a little different, but you get the idea. The ‘rehoming fee’ will be 🐾 500 🐾 message if interested!

We’re coming right up on rifle season, so good luck out there everyone! Stay safe and be responsible!

What a CHONK of a beaver! And that really cute little tongue… pretty proud of making that myself 😉😂 also, this is the first beaver I kept the original tail on!

That’s finally a wrap for the 2024 season! Just in time to start again 😂 Couple of things for this year:

1) Let’s talk prices. My deer will remain at $700 with a $200 deposit for shoulder mounts. Squirrels, minks, and weasels will remain at $300 with a $100 deposit. Foxes and beavers will be $1,000+ depending on habitat add ons with $400 deposit. Coyotes will start at $1,200, open mouth coyotes will start at $1,500 with $500 deposit. Bear life size mounts will start at $2,500 with $700 deposit.

2) At some point in the upcoming months, I will be moving my shop to my garage in Cattaraugus. For now, I am still in the same place on Colvin rd, and I will keep everyone posted when the move happens.

Season is coming right up! Good luck everyone!

Here’s a big one 😮‍💨 13 hours on this water Buffalo from Argentina, and I still didn’t get it completely finished! Another taxidermist had to take over for setting the ears and some other finishing touches, but this is how far I got it. It took up half my shop and weighed enough that I had my mounting stand weighted down with my fleshing beam, a gallon of glue and a gallon of bondo… and it was still tipping 😂

Oh. My. Goodness 😍🥰 🐻 🍯 🐝

Love the idea the customer had for this little Canadian bear! I did a lot of altering to the form, but it was so worth it!! 😍 the coyote went together very easily for this pose, never done one like this before! And then for the fisher, the customer stained and coated the post that he’s posing on, and he looks so darn cute!
