Attention: Phone calls, messages and emails are picking up asking about availability. For anyone with birds that they are wanting to get checked in that I wasn’t able to take this past year now is your chance.

I will be accepting birds during the 24/25 seasons until my quota is met. All spots are first come first serve. If you are not able to get the bird to me right away you can contact me and reserve a spot with a paid deposit on that bird/birds.

I am currently still making my way down the list getting birds done from last year if I have went over on some of my turnaround times I apologize as my turnaround times are just an estimated time frame.
I appreciate everyone for the patience and trust and looking forward to another year!

I’m back to business this morning, if you have sent me a text or tried to call over the past few days please reach back out to me this week with any questions regarding birds/pickup. Unfortunately I had a phone crash and was without a phone for several days and lost a ton of my message history, please be patient and I will get back with you.. Thanks again everyone!

I have trouble putting into words what some of these awards mean to me. Competition for me personally has never been about bragging rights.. it has always been pretty simple, I picked something that I love to do and I owe it myself and customers to do it to the best of my ability! I have met some great people through the taxidermy industry and a lot of them I now call friends. It’s been a honor!

ATTENTION: Some of my newer customers have already been informed but I’ve changed my policies for payments/pickup. Effective immediately a 50% deposit at drop off will be required, and when I get to your bird I will be sending you an invoice for the remaining balance with a list of payment options.

Once payment has been received, I will have your bird ready in approximately 30 days. After you have been contacted that your bird is ready, you will then have 30 days to pickup. Anything past 30 days will have a storage fee added.

To the customers that have birds ready for pickup now, I will be sending invoices out this week. I hope everyone can understand I have to do what’s best for my business and my family as this is my full time job.

To answer one of the most frequently asked questions. This is what I recommend on all birds that will be brought to me frozen.
Step one: Wrap a wet paper towel around the head and around both feet.

Step two: Fold head along back of bird.

Step three: Place bird into a good heavy duty freezer bag 2 gallon recommended and will be the best size for most birds.

Step 4: Please read steps 1-3 again as this is a very important part of getting the best quality bird mount and it only take a few extra minutes

Please: No groceries bags, newspaper, aluminum foil, beach towels, bread bags and last but not least NO PANTY HOSE

I’ve had several calls this morning, just letting everyone know I will be accepting birds this season or until I fill all availability. If you don’t get me right off please be patient as I have large numbers of phone calls, text and social media messages and I promise I will get back with you ASAP.
Thank you all and I looking forward to working on your trophy birds!
