Ok guys i know you got a lot of antlers just laying around in your shed. If the wife has said no more in the house you just might talk her into some antler candleholders. Bring me the antlers. I can fix you up. Usually 3 candles works the best. Of course the larger the antlers the more they can hold. Single or double wall sconce is also an option. Any color you want. $20 each holder. Wall sconce depending on design $40-60.

Here's a good option for a rattlesnake if you don't want a mounted one. Rattlesnake walking stick. I find a nice piece of wood, grind it, shape it, sand it. I chose a curvy one here to be more snake like. Tan the skin, seal it, an attach the rattles with leather. Bring me a rattlesnake with minor or no damage and I can custom create yours. $250
Or I can buy your rattlesnake for up to $25 depending on size and color and damage.

It's always great to see when a new hunter gets their first deer. Even more so, when it's a child and their first one is a beautiful Ga mountain buck like this one here taken by 11 year old Joseph McClure of Hiawassee. I bet he's ready for next season.
Way to go Joseph!

Congratulations to Alan Turpin of Hiawassee with a buck of a lifetime. Anyone hunting our mountains here know how rare one like this is. It is now listed in the county rankings at #9,,, at
126 1/8 inches.

Congratulations to Joey Mitchell from Hiawassee with a beautiful Union County 9 point. This is the McKenzie 8400 semi upright. Probably the most requested form.

Here are some photos of antler point rebuild. Apologies for the pictures . Lot of stuff in the background. At the time wasn't thinking about posting them. Im trying to get better with pictures. Most of my older ones were still in the days when we picked them up at the drug store. For those of you who remember that. . G3 and 4 was completely broken off. I didn't get a good before. Just from the hunter holding it. The next is after its sculpted. Then after its colored. It matched pretty well. Some are easier than others. The second is right g3 broken off. Broken off 3 days before it was shot. Matched it back to trail cam photo. Odd color. Difficult to match. So if your trophy has broken points dont worry. We can bring them back.

For those of you that haven't seen a mink up close, here's one for the album. I've never had the opportunity to mount one. Pretty little critters. Very tedious to mount, being so small. Found a unique piece of wood to put him on.

Heres the current price list. Anything not listed just ask

04/02/2024

I will be ready for business now on April 4th. Just call or message if you want to stop by. Drop off time any day from 9 am to 9 pm.

I have been getting some messages about prices. Im still working on the list but the main question is whitetail shoulder mounts and european mounts(skull mounts).
Whitetail shoulder mounts will be $550 for basic mount. Specialty mounts such as pedestals will be extra. Wall habitats or back boards extra as well.
Skull mounts $100 if the cape isn't useable.
$75 if the cape can be salvaged for me to keep for later use. So keep this in mind if you intend on doing a skull mount as it can save you some $$.
Display will be extra. There are several ways to display the skull, on the wall or table. The supply companies have a lot of options or just hang it on the wall by itself. I prefer to make something out of wood. Just depends on what i have available. Here is an example of a table display. It can be reversed and hung on the wall too.

Here is a beautiful Georgia mountain buck taken by Adam Tucker. Known as the brow tine buck for obvious reasons. He hunted it for 7 years finally getting a shot in the 2022 season. This is a McKenzie HD semi-sneak form. I posted a picture of a trail cam he had of the buck to show how helpful a picture can be. The old buck had a very pronounced front neck muscle an i was able to bring it out in the mount. Any photos you might have of your buck can b helpful. To see the story of this buck check it out on Adams YouTube channel. Here is the link..
