Sent this guy to a new home today. I don’t advertise much for birds and they are taken in only on a case by case basis.

Really enjoyed working on this Northern Michigan Whitetail. Very unique traits to both his antlers and cape!

Here’s a walkthrough video from the 2019 World Show. I attended this show behind the scenes. Not as a competitor.

The Breakthrough Magazine Learn Taxidermy Magazine Trade Journal World Taxidermy Show is fast approaching!! I think it’s going to be an incredible show! Banquet sold out, hotels are full! I have an incredibly sentimental piece I’m working on still. The kids are also bringing their pieces. There is no general public viewing this year but I’ll post lots of photos afterwards . I can’t wait to see all the AMAZING mounts!

Old Perch restoration. All but two fins were broken but I felt they were still salvageable. Other option would be replacement replica fins. Dusted, repaired, and some extra scale tipping detail added before a new coat of gloss.

Simple clean and repair job. Dusted this Wood Duck, cleaned his eyes and feet, touched up paint. And re-attached his tail. Jobs like this are only taken on a case by case basis. I had already started dusting his feathers prior to taking the “before” photo.

Pronghorn REMOUNT!
After some failed attempts at restoring this Pronghorn, a new cape was used to bring him back to his former glory! Original glass eyes were salvaged and used in the new mount, the blue seal also was left in tact. More often then not(depending on circumstances and specimen), remounting yields the best results in the end.

Hoping this will get things moving along again. I have a bunch of mounts that are still drying with this humidity! I can’t control the whole studio so I borrowed the dehumidifier from the house and packed mounts into the paint room.

Congratulations to those drawing Michigan Bear and Elk tags! I drew a UP bear tag myself!
Along with all the other factors it’s a great idea to start researching your Taxidemist as well. I have updated my pricing for the new season. Additional information can be discussed. Habitats and wood bases priced individually. I will also be posting more complete information soon once I get all pricing updated.

I wish there was a way to create the photo albums and add to them without making all the posts. It’s buried all the recent mount spotlights 😬. I think the albums will be helpful though for anyone looking for ideas etc. without scrolling through everything. Some mounts I’m adding to the albums are a bit older.

I’m going to be making new photo albums so everyone can look at/find specific mount types easier.

Last one for today! Big Northern Michigan sow black bear! I participated on this gals hunt. We did this pose to try and show her size. Sows tend to carry more weight in the back. Additions were made to this from. I didn’t notice until fitting her ear liners but she was missing around 3/4” from the end of her left ear. While not perfectly realistic I love the color pop and texture the red ferns give.
