Just a quick update------- I am fully booked up on bear and lifesize animals. Most taxidermist are booked this year at this point so if you can't find anyone just freeze and I'll take a few more around March or April. Im only going to take in about 10 more deer that will carry a estimated 12-14 month turn around, so text or message to see if space is available. I will not be taking in turkeys, squirrels, fish,or any soft tans until further notice unless I have talked to you. I Am back to mounting full time so I should be getting mounts out the door at a good pace now. Thanks- Matt.

New price list for this season. I had to go up in prices as our supplies took a massive jump in our fall catalogs. Please call or text(preferred) to check on availability. If you take a deer to a processor text me and get your spot because I may fill up quick this season and most processors are taking a week to 2 weeks getting caped deer back to you. I am not taking any soft tanning or fish again this season to help me Keep turn around reasonable. Thanks, Matt.

Our books are closed until sept 1st 2023.---(except the few who are holding mounts)---Will not be taking in spring turkeys or any fish this spring and summer also. Supply issues are still affecting us, mainly glass eyes now, so we are trying to look ahead to not getting overbooked and be in good shape for next season and previous season. Thanks.

Deer shoulder, euro/skull.

I’m booked up on everything else. If I saved a spot for you then you are good to go and you know who you are.

Thanks for yalls business and support. Matt.

We are fully booked and won’t be taking in anymore mounts until sept 15th 2022, with a few exceptions to those that are holding mounts. Thanks to everyone for the business and the patience. Still trying to catchup on backlogged mounts from issues with covid and my goal is to have every backlogged mount out by end of this March. Thanks, Matt.

Looks like we’re gearing up for another good season. To focus more on deer and bear(1/2 lifesize) and shoulder mounts I’m only going to take in a very limited amount of lifesizes and rugs, so please call to check availability. We are getting out of tanning for soft tans and throws in shop because they affect turn around for all mounts. I will be willing to ship those tans off to be tanned by another facility. We are also getting completely out of turkey mounts, to speed up return on deer and bear shoulders. Thanks for everyone’s patience over the last few years as we’ve tried to work through the high volume and demand.

As we come into another hunting season I would like to thank all my customers for being very understanding and patient on turn around times over the past two years. I got swamped in 2015 and 2016 and I'm getting closer to catching up. I should have all mounts out including 2016/2017 mounts by February of 2018. I cut off accepting mounts over the past 7 months with the exception of a few, so I could get back to normal turn around times. I will be accepting mounts starting this weekend and thru the end of the season. I will have to raise prices on lifesizes and stop accepting soft tans at wholesale prices, to keep my turn around times under a year. Again, thanks and have a great season.

This year I'm doing something different with the big buck contest at Mitchell's Market. Just walk into Mitchell's market and ask for a free shoulder mount raffle ticket. That's it, it's open to anyone that walks in and just ask for a ticket. Mitchell's is located on rt 45 five miles north of FarmVille. Please like and share to get this going. Thanks.
