Got a few things I wanted to drop here for 2025 happenings!

First and foremost I sent out my deposit to hold my spot at the - Ive joined Bills late May class so I can confidently dive into full on taxidermy and start building out my offerings. I will still continue on doing European mounts but I feel it’s a necessary next step to growing my business. I couldn’t be more stoked for this opportunity, Bill has done high quality mounts for myself, my father and my uncle for years, and I look forward to gaining more knowledge and skill sets about taxidermy from him!

Next I will be heading to my first big trade show in Essex VT on January 17-19 for the - come say hi I will be at table 747! Should be a great show with lots of guest speakers and exhibitors.

Last but not least I just locked in a booth spot at this years in Westminster, MA from August 8-10. This will be my first time ever going to huntstock and I am stoked to be heading down there to set up shop and meet hunters from all corners of New England. Check their social media and website for more information on Huntstock!

Looking forward to another great year at DHT!

2024 was a hell of a year for me from taxidermy work to time out in the woods. Been a record season for most wild game I harvested in a year, and the most mounts completed and out the door! I really couldn’t be more appreciative of time I got to spend hunting, and for all my customers both returning and new! It’s the people that make all the hard work worth it. I leave 2024 with a s**t eating grin on my face and still a mountain of work to push through. To everyone who’s waiting still for their mount I appreciate your patience, quality work can’t be rushed and I take pride in making sure each mount is properly done.

As we enter 2025 I thought it would be good to properly introduce myself since I never had on my social media pages, the guy behind the branding and deer heads. My name is Justin Christopher - a VT native and avid outdoorsman. If I’m not working on mounts you can find me gearing up for the next deer season, tending to my farm animals, working around the homestead or just kicking back and trying to enjoy some down time. Hunting’s been in my blood since I was a wee lad. Shot my first deer at the age of 12 out in WNY where our family land is, and have been hooked ever since. If I were to say why I love hunting we’d be here all day. For a long story short I’m out there to fill the freezer, escape from society, cram my face with unhealthy snacks and connect with the woods and nature. I started this business out of my own interest of doing mounts for myself, and one thing led to the next. 3 years later I have a business card, Im branded and on the books paying Uncle Sam his ungodly sized slice of the pie. I couldn’t be more grateful for that, to watch my brand grow season after season - and it’s all because of everyone who’s ever brought me a Deer, bought some merch, liked and shared a post, gave me a follow or messaged me to talk shop! I thank you all for the support and I look forward to what’s down the road!

Cheers to 2025!

Nice VT buck right here! Jon wanted to keep it as natural as possible so I got it cleaned up for him, left it in its natural color and re attached the jaw. Nothing wrong with keeping it simple and authentic! Congrats Jon and thanks for choosing 🦌
