Not only is the frustrating for us but for our clients. This form took 90+ days, and was ordered along with 60 other forms. We have also had 72 forms on back order… and our fish paint… Not only do I have to pay shipping on each form individually now as they send them one by one — but I am now getting another surcharge fee because of increasing supply costs for raw materials…

Hey everyone! Just an update — applicable to fish skin mount customers.

We are having trouble with ordering paint. There is a specific paint we use that works best that is not supplied anywhere but a specific taxidermy supplier. It’s been on back order since October…. 😔

Unfortunately we have had to delay our fish skin mounts until we are able to receive these paints from our supplier.

If you have a fish 🎣 with us — we will contact you in regards to when we RECEIVE the paint. 🎨

We are so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. But we promise it will be worth the wait. We guarantee our mounts for life. Thank you for continued business!

Finding sheds, and mapping land to trap beavers 🦫

(Beavers are funny animals. But not for agricultural farmland — they can be a complete nuisance!)

If you are in need of nuisance trapping or predator control — let me know!

Support local business! Went to the farmers market today in Rochester — met some incredible people, found amazing deals, and I spent my birthday money in supporting those around me!

02/01/2022

*UPDATE*

We had delays in ordering forms, tanning supplies, tools, and fish paint kits…. So sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused any of our customers 😥

We are finally getting rolling again — we are still waiting on our fish paint…

If you have any questions please feel free to message us.

Thank you for your kindness and patience during this time!

WE APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS! ❤️

To most of you it’s Black Friday, but did you know it’s actually a holiday? Today is National Native American Heritage Day. Actually the entire month of November is dedicated to this holiday as well.

Native American Heritage Day honors American Indians across the nation. The day celebrates vibrant cultures, traditions, and heritages while recognizing Native Americans’ many contributions.

How many native American tribes remain today?

There are 574 federally recognized tribes in the United States. There are additional tribes recognized only at the state level. In addition, hundreds of other tribes continue to go through a process of federal recognition.

In recognition of this holiday, I hand painted a North American Bison skull and it’s up for sale. 400$
