Heading out to the wood yard to select driftwood for today’s work. We pick each piece to showcase the colors and form of the animal. It’s one of my favorite parts of the process. The perfect base sets the tone for the finish product!
Say a big healing prayer for our driftwood collector. He recovers an awesome selection of pieces. Don’t know what we would do without him.

Beautiful Blue Wing Teal! We don’t see very many of these in the shop.

Let’s paint some ducks today!

We’re gearing up for a long summer of ducks. Stay tuned.

Whew! 425LB Canadian Whitetail.

We’ve had some really nice bucks come through this year. We’re working hard to get them finished up.

05/22/2024

We’ve finished up the Red Foxes for now!

A bit of trivia you; a group of foxes is called a skulk, leash, or earth.

Although Red Foxes are very similar in name and appearance to the Gray Fox, they are only distant cousins. Because Gray foxes have almost twice as many chromosomes as red foxes, crossbreeding between the two is virtually impossible genetically.

Wow! Look at these beauties. Bobcats and Gray Foxes are ready to go home. The team has outdone themselves this year. Each one a masterpiece on their own.
Keep those ears perked up for your call to pick up.

We’ve been hard at work on deer and bobcats this week. We will share pictures soon. In the meantime check out this bobcat at work himself.

“I was just in the right place at the right time.”

Prepping for bobcats this week.

This strange looking bird floats like a duck and swims like a duck but it’s definitely not a duck. Let me introduce you to the American Coot also know as a Mud Hen. They don’t have webbed feet like ducks but they do have some pretty cool lobed toes that help make it a great swimmer.

Beautiful black coyote, full body mount is just right on that awesome custom base!

The last of the geese are flying out of the shop this week.

It’s that time of year where our freezers get full of antlers and we have to start a waitlist for drop off appointments. We move pretty fast so your wait won’t be too long. Put ‘em in the freezer and call us first before driving out. We love our customers and look forward to seeing you soon!

Big birds in progress this week. One of them is not like the others…

11/28/2023

We are wide open in the shop this week. Santa put in a few orders, so those are priorities of course! Otherwise we work in the order received. Bring’em on out BUT call first! Once our freezers fill up you have to go on the call list.

Henry, the shop dog, got a new bed today. He’s our faithful door greeter to all who come by to visit. He’s a good boy, mostly.

The gator got his finishing touches today and is heading home. We have gotten used to having him around the shop. He will be missed.

11/16/2023

This little guy came into the shop this week. I’m not sure the bow hunters are leaving the rest of you much to work with 👀 Yes, he is nice one!
He didnt come alone though, he had a gazillion ticks, poor guy. Into the freezer you go. We’ll get back to you in a few days. What do you do about the ticks, you ask? They get the hammer.

Have you ever wondered what is on the inside of a mounted deer?

Can you fix a damaged beak? Why yes, we can! This Florida mottled duck came to us with a bit of his beak blown out. He is a really nice specimen. These ducks are only found in wetlands and open waters throughout the Florida peninsula. They do not migrate, which is rare among duck species.

11/05/2023

Doing a little work on the gator this weekend. Will start the paint soon…stay tuned.

White Wing Scoter and a Common Eider in the shop today. Do you know which is which?

10/23/2023

We recently enjoyed a visit from JesseandHeather Davis and their family! Jesse worked for Hammock’s Taxidermy during college between 2002-2004. Such a special family! We are so grateful to have stayed in touch over the years!

Recent mallard mounts! 🦆
We appreciate our customers!

Hi, our names are Gus and Wiley. We are brothers and we were found in the country together very hungry and in bad shape. Two people took us in and fostered us for the past couple of months. They fed us, took us to vet appointments and made sure we are healthy and happy. They even taught us some things! Now we need a forever home with lots of love and a place where we can run and play. We would prefer to stay together but understand if we need to be adopted separately. If you would like to meet us, please contact Tricia at (334) 740 – 6724. ❤️❤️
