A very successful Wyoming antelope hunting trip. The entire family was able to draw tags. It was fun to pass along the experiences I have learned in the past while hunting out west.

Both kids did great on their stalks, they made amazing long range shots. Even with moderate winds playing effects on a couple of bullets.

My wife and I were able to put on an epic stalk for her antelope. Spotted him and his does down in a wash over 1/2 mile away. Closing the distance to less than 100 yards for an easy off hand chip shot.

We found my antelope sound sleep mid morning. I was able to stalk into 350 yards to find his group of does watching his down range side. With minimal cover options I chose to set up for my shot. He stood up to check his does. As they milled around and started to move he presented a broadside shot. I was able watch him drop after the shot.

Planning for a return trip!

Big spring Black Bear that was delivered yesterday. The slight open mouth pose gives a nice relaxed expression to him.

Lots of cool character on this buck. A youth hunter was lucky enough to harvested this buck in the late season.

Missouri whitetail I finished up for our son. Did a slight adjustment to the head position on this wall pedestal form. Tilting the head down helped to show off the high and tight style of this buck’s antlers.

Impressive wide rack on this whitetail. This one is headed for Oregon. Definitely going to be an eye catcher.

Nyala are one of my favorite African antelope species to work on. Amazing hair patterns with beautiful colors. This floor pedestal shows the essence of the African landscape with out using up a lot of room.

Hunting season is in full swing here in northwestern Missouri. I wanted to take a moment and wish all of hunters best of luck out in the woods! Hunt safe this year. If you are looking for a quality taxidermist for your trophy please contact me. I have limited space available for deer shoulder mounts.

The reason for this limitation is that I operate a one man studio. This helps me maintain a consistent quality of your trophy mount. Also keeping the turnaround time to a minimum.

Weather report looks extremely mild for these next couple weeks. Please keep your cape in mind with temperatures above 45 degrees. It’s important to keep your cape cool and out of the sun as much as possible.

I do not charge extra for skinning your cape off the deer. I also offer this service to any out of state hunters who are traveling back home to their taxidermist. Cape will be skinned off the skull and skull cap cleaned.

Please contact me if you’re interested in my services. Website, wrtaxidermy.com
