https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgeagJoiF8g PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE AND PLEASE with the Iowa gun season starting in a couple of weeks watch this video, this isn't rocket science folks. Just take your time and have a very sharp knife, I suggest investing in a Havalon knife or something similar. It also helps to use a headlamp or have someone holding a flashlight. It would be very helpful if you can share this video with all your hunting buddies also. Thank you and I wish everyone the best of luck hunting.

Starting tomorrow, my bathroom is to be made a little more wheelchair friendly. I'm hoping this goes smoothly but there may be times the shop might be closed. Please call ahead so we can make a plan. 319 404 4027

Purple Heart Tour hosted Special Forces veterans, active and retired this week to bow hunt and some to pheasant hunt. One of the bow hunters was able to put his tag on a nice 8 pt yesterday. This morning he brought me his buck to have mounted and honored me with his unit's challenge coin. Tonight I was invited to their meet and greet supper in Waverly. These guys put their lives on line to keep us safe and America free. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I have some commitments I need to attend to today and will not be able to remain open (Saturday 9th). If you have deer that you want mounted, please keep it as cold as possible or freeze it I'll be around tomorrow. Please call to make an appointment.

The shop is full of dead heads ready for the finishing touches. I approximately have about 8 more to do to finish up last year's. So far it's been really quiet in the shop for this year's season, the warmer temps and the harvest I'm sure has a little to do with that. You just never know what kind of year it's going to be, it all depends on how successful hunters are. To everyone heading out to the tree stands, good luck and stay safe.

Good luck to all the youth and disabled hunters heading out today for the start of the 2024-25 deer season. Have fun and stay safe.

So happy for my buddy Kevin filling his bear tag last night.

23 years ago today. Never Forget.

Last night was a good night in the bear woods of northern Wisconsin, a night I'll never forget. 13 years of earning enough points paid off. Can't remember the last time I've been gone from home this long, a break I really needed.

Happy Friday folks. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. With hunting season just around the corner, I have to let you know about a price increase on deer and some life size mounts. Earlier this last week my tanner and I parted ways. I've been in discussions with another tanner, but his prices are considerably higher. On top of higher tanning prices, I will also have to ship or drive the hides to him, which will be another expense. After doing a little penciling, I'm going to have raise my prices $100. I've tried to keep my prices as low as possible, but with this change it's going to be impossible. I hope this price increase won't discourage anybody from bringing their trophies to me, but I can understand if it does. Take care everyone.

$20 and both these can be yours. PM me if you want them. Tray was used one time, shooter was never used.

I would like to wish all my customers and their families a Happy 4th of July.

A song that takes me back to the days I spent fishing with my dad, especially the part about catching bullheads. I'd be a rich man if I had a dollar for everyone we caught. Happy Father's Day.

To say this young man was excited to get his mount back would be an understatement. He tag this nice buck with his bow, his 1st bow deer. A memory he'll never forget.

I want to wish all of my customers and their families a safe enjoyable Memorial Day. It's a day of remembrance of the ultimate sacrifice that thousands of Americans made. 🇺🇸

Have I told you lately how much I love spring turkey season. 2nd season I shot my 2nd heaviest bird. Today I shot my lightest tom, coming in at a whopping 15lbs. He had an 8 inch beard and 3/4 inch spurs. It was such a fun hunt, I'm just sad it's over for another year.
