Our trip to Iowa was full of adventures, fantastic dog work, and personal triumphs. Scout still has "it," flushing and retrieving her share of birds. She's always had the capacity to take complex directions and that ability shined when I sent her on a blind retreive across a creek into the dense grass to recover a downed bird. Her aging body leaves her in pain after the hunt but like a true working dog, she only takes a break when forced to. Bear has grown into a seasoned hunter, dutifully locating bird after bird...including a wild turkey! He never protested once, even after all of the miles, the cuts on his face and undercarriage from diving face-first into the dense vegetation, or the battle scars from fighting with a raccoon. Then there's my favorite hunting partner, Brooke Wendt, who hunts harder than most people I know and hangs tough when the conditions get brutal. Her persistence was rewarded during a memorable hunt where Bear pointed a rooster, her aim was true, Scout reterieved, and I had a front-row seat to the whole thing! It takes a certain amount of of crazy to drive 12 hours to willingly walk for miles through chest-high prairie during the frigid November wind only for a rooster pheasant to flush at your feet and you miss; but for some reason we keep pushing on to the next fence row, the next creek, the next ridge, and beyond.

I really like the look of this Crazy Horse wing mount and glad I took the time to replicate accurate war paint. Let me know if I can put one together for you this season.

Good luck to the turkey hunters this weekend! Me and Brooke will be out there too, but let us know if you need our services. As a native Ohioan, this Tecumseh tail mount is too cool!

This blonde fox squirrel was too cool and had a superb coat. We placed him atop a shelf fungus and dressed it up with some oak adornments.

Fluffy!

Here's my take on the "backpack mount" that I put together for a Christmas present. We navigated from Ohio to Ontario using only this map for sh*ts and giggles and stuffed ourselves with Tim Hortons as our Canadian brethren do!

Lots of nuance in this one to add to the realism. I hope you like it!

My shop bird, Gomez, runs a tight ship! Antlers are his favorite perch 😂
