Congratulations are in order for all the successful hunters this season! I am presently working behind the scenes to complete various projects, while taking care of the detailed processes of skinning, fleshing, salting, and preparing hides for the tannery. A sizeable collection of mounts will be showcased after Christmas, although I may display a few select pieces between now and then.

Please be advised that I am still accepting deer and other animals for shoulder mounts, but I am not currently accepting additional fish, birds, or lifesize mounts unless specifically discussed.

Here’s a tall one from mid Michigan! Custom looking down pose to better display in clients home. I made a decent size antler repair by request. Can you find it? I don’t do a lot of antler repairs but I think I’m getting better 😀

Heck of a nice chunky Northern Michigan buck right here. Someone missed a vital shot on him in a previous season. Crazy how tough these animals really are.

Here’s a unique display that was perfect for this beautiful early season Northern Michigan whitetail! He will be mounted on the clients supplied wood panel with white oak branches.

The straight upright ears forward! Old school charm? Displayability? Most Taxidermists loath this pose but this dark Northern Michigan 8pt really looks great in this pose! This buck even had a pure black “mane”.

Taking photos of deer mounts during the opening weekend of Michigans rifle season is risky business!
This coming week I will be available by appointment only on Tuesday, Thursday & Friday after 3pm. Mondays and Wednesdays are very limited. Good luck and stay safe!

I don’t advertise bird work at all but I get plenty of inquiries: If you have a bird of any kind you want mounted I need it dropped off with deposit by November 4th. I will not be accepting them again till after deer season concludes and all my hides are out to the tannery.

Michigan Black Bear pack out mount on a birch frame. Fully cleaned, degreased and whitened skull as well.

Tall early season Whitetail buck! Seems many hunters don’t appreciate the early season capes. Yes the necks are smaller but the softness and detail achieved makes these a favorite of Taxidermists.

Chocolate rack on this Northern Michigan buck. Wall pedestal with added habitat makes for a beautiful piece of wildlife art!

Young Northern Michigan Buck. The younger deer make some pretty mounts!
