Kill whatever size makes you happy and never apologize!

What a day! After helping my son this morning get his doe home I took in 4 bucks for mounts and 1 for a spare cape. Word on “the street” is that the rut is on!

Hi folks. Just a heads up that the quickest way to get in touch with me is either by phone or text message. It may be hours before I notice a message through Facebook. Thanks!

Hey parents and grandparents: If you’re mentoring a young new hunter this season remember they’re only going to harvest one “first one”! No matter what size it is to them it’s a trophy, so consider having it mounted for them! You do your part and I’ll try to have it ready by Christmas. (Note: this applies only to family of previous clients as I’m not looking to take on new clients)

Client picked up his Grey Fox mount today, which I just finished yesterday. I really appreciate it when mounts are picked up promptly!

Following a successful harvest, reflect on the people who helped you along the way. Thank those who taught you and instilled in you a love for the outdoors. It is now your responsibility to pay it forward and share that passion with others, ensuring the preservation of our hunting traditions for generations to come.

And so it has started! Took in the first deer head to be mounted yesterday. It was arrowed in Kentucky.
Please remember that in an effort to control my work load I am trying to not accept new clients again this year. While I appreciate folks recommending me to hunting friends I ask that you please refrain from doing so as it’s hard for me to say “no”!

Having gotten the last of the 2023 season’s deer mounts put together yesterday my antler rack is now empty! I still have a couple projects to do but the load is much lighter!

Over the course of my taxidermy career I’ve mounted countless Whitetail Deer and they have all been different in some way. This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of unique hair pattern!

My goal this week is to get the remaining four deer mounts from last season put together. I’m a month behind where I wanted to be but I can thank having a fractured wrist in February for that. I really appreciate everyone’s patience!

Das right

Hey folks. I know life happens and sometimes people need to change their contact info. If I’m doing a mount for you and that happens, please let me know so I don’t have to spend time trying to track you down. Thanks!!

Another bullwinkle went home today. Has a 36” inside spread. Needless to say it took up a lot of space in my shop!

It’s been a productive week in the shop. 6 days—-6 deer mounts put together. Made a good dent in whats on my antler rack.
