I’ve been playing Santa Claus lately. Missouri whitetail from last archery season, a young man’s skull mount from this archery, and a moose antler mount. I agreed to have these done by Christmas and we made it with a little time to spare.

PA, archery, 10 point finished recently. If you’re not already, head over to Allegheny Origins and give them a follow. Here’s a link to one of their YouTube videos on the harvest of this buck. https://youtu.be/HeexE96z3lM?feature=shared

I’m no longer accepting work for this season. I thought that by accepting only shoulder mounts I would be able to accommodate everyone but the demand has been way higher than I expected. Whitetail numbers were probably the best I’ve ever had. My turn around time from here is over a year and a half. Thank you so much for all the support!

Good luck. Have fun. Hunt safely. Thank you for being a Pennsylvania hunter!

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served and are currently serving in our Nation’s military. I just finished this buck and realized it was an appropriate one to share for the occasion. 9 point, PA archery, whitetail, mounted as a wall pedestal. My client is a Marine, and we used a piece of his MARPAT woodland for the pedestal backing.

One of my favorites for this season so far. Congrats to Brennan and his Dad!

All finished with these two PA eight points from last archery season. The shop has been very busy lately with a lot of nice bucks coming in. Work going out the door slows down this time of year in order to take care of new work coming in. Thanks for your patience.

It’s October already and PA’s archery season is now underway. It was a very busy September and a lot of work has already come in. With the amount of work I still have to do from last year, I’ve decided I will be taking SHOULDER MOUNTS ONLY this season. NO LIFE SIZE projects this year. I have a lot of big life size projects here currently and in order to keep a decent turn around time for my clients, I won’t be accepting more. Thanks for understanding and for all the work. This is a 360lb. male black bear from Jicarilla New Mexico that I completed this week.
