A very special client, Mr. Wes Hitt, with a very special buck! Wes took his terminally ill dad, on what turned out to be his last hunt. As the two sat in the blind, this monster whitetail stepped out.Dad made a perfect shot with a crossbow, and harvested one of the best deer to come through the shop. We were able to get it mounted in time to surprise the elder Hitt, who fortunately lived long enough to see the finished trophy! May the memories of that special day live on!

A nice pair of king eiders taken by Lance Henkleman. He provided the steel Alaska cutout, and had it powder coated. A perfect reminder of a great duck hunting adventure! I believe his next hunting trip takes him to the opposite corner of the country, Florida, where he hopes to bag another exotic duck or two, to round out his grand slam!

A nice king eider from Alaska, taken by our good friend Lance Henkleman. Notice the antique Japanese glass fishing float. They are often found washed up on the beaches of St.Paul island.
Lance is almost finished with his water fowl grand slam, and has an extensive collection of birds!

Well, it's officially here. The long awaited opener for Texas deer season! While most hunters have been dreaming of trophy bucks, the fact remains that many does are managed and taken each year. What many hunters fail to realize, is that few mounts are as beautiful and graceful as a whitetail doe! Pair one up with that trophy buck, for a real conversation piece!

Another busy season coming to an end, just in time for the new ones to start pouring in! This new batch of forms should just about wrap up the tail end of last season's heads. God has been good, the deer this year have been in top shape, lots of big antlers!

A wooly giant of the plains, the American bison, or buffalo, once provided the Indian with most every thing they needed. Food, shelter and clothing.
Today, they are still highly prized for their delicious meat, and trophy value. Brandon Villeneuve recently posed with his big bull,
a nice shoulder mount, and a bonus skull mount . We often make reproductions of the horns to install on the head, so the original ones can stay with the skull.

The Aoudad or Barbary sheep from Africa, now thrives in it's North American habitat. Found on many Texas game ranches, and in the desert mountainous regions of southwest Texas and New Mexico, it has become a highly sought after trophy.
This one recently paused for a photo before being shipped to an out of state hunter.

When it comes to excitement and beauty, few wild animals can compare with the whitetail buck! Probably the most sought after trophy in America, they are definitely on the minds of sportsmen as the days get cooler, and hunting seasons are starting to open up!
Here we have one of our wildlife artists, Paul Trayler, giving a last minute inspection to a nice Texas buck before it leaves the shop.

Things have been busy at the shop lately, but we took off a few seconds to get a photo snapped of our crew and some of the projects put together recently. We are blessed to have such a great group of talented artists, representing over 100 years of combined experience turning dead critters, into works of art!

Nice New Mexico pronghorn just finished up. One of the fastest critters on the North American continent, no trophy room is complete without one of these icons of the west!
Often hunted during the early warmer seasons, care must be taken to keep the cape cold on the way back from the hunt.

This would be a trophy in anybody's pasture, but when it is harvested behind a low fence, free range, it suddenly becomes a legend! Scoring 174, it took first place in the Bosque county big buck contest. Congratulations to Brian Anderson, for one of the prettiest typical deer to come through the shop!

Bow hunters start practicing, if you aren't already!

As the days of summer wind down, September elk season is starting to occupy the thoughts of hunters dreaming of frosty mornings, golden aspens, and the shrill calls of bugling bulls!
This fine bull was recently finished, and is waiting for pickup.

We are happy to announce the addition of Paul Trayler to our staff. A favorite brother-in -law, he was helping in the shop as far back as 1976. After a life long career with the Postal service, he is spending his retirement graciously helping us, as we strive to get last year's trophies completed in time for the coming season!

After 50 plus years, one of the best parts of being in the taxidermy business, is seeing the smile on a client's face when they see their finished trophy!
This beautiful little bufflehead went home with it's owner, Cruz Vega, on Friday.

Some times a client is ready to pick up their trophy almost as soon as the finish paint is dry! Justin Noland, was just minutes away, when his trophy pronghorn was ready to go. We didn't get to enjoy it long, but we did get a picture of his New Mexico prize and his big grin!

Three nice longhorns ready to pick up today. These cattle bring a part of the old west into modern day life. The variation in color and horn shape, make each one a truly one of a kind treasure, whose ancestors once lumbered up the dusty trails of long ago.
