TAXIDERMY!! To our clients. Most of you know by now I’ve been thru holy hell the last 6 months! 5 major leg surgeries and 2 major bacterial infections of my knee. As a matter of fact my knee was removed on March 14 and because of this second infection I may not get a new knee until July or August.
I’m on the sideline now and my Dr says it’s critical I follow his instructions to the T as the trama to my leg is severe!! I promise you if you have a bird with us I’ll be knocking them out as soon as I am told I can go back to work! God blessed me 51 years ago with a job and career that I dearly love! All I’m asking is please be patient with me and I promise when I get my leg back I will be churning like crazy!!! Thanks to everyone!

This message is to clients and friends that have trophies with us now! Without going into any details I have have 6 major orthopedic surgeries in the last 18 months ! 3 of which were in the last 6 weeks! Yesterday was number 6!
1st let me say to you all thank you so much for your patience ! I know how important having your trophy in your home and not in my freezer is!
2nd you will get your trophy back and it will be done by me, it’s just gonna take a bit longer!
3rd. We had an unreal year last year and I am in the middle of of February on birds. All the small mammals are skinned and ready to mount I just need to get back on my feet! The first 3 surgeries put a big hold on the bigger animals and put me quite a bit behind!!
Finally, your trophies are fine and I promise as soon as I’m back on my feet I’ll be getting them to you as fast as I can!! God blessed me 50 years ago when he showed me the world of taxidermy !! I truly love walking into the studio everyday and truly don’t consider it a job!!
Again THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE !!!

Still working on filling the tents for my Sept Mozambique safari! Have a few left if you’re interested! One thing I haven’t posted if you’re interested in seeing old Africa, it’s like going back in time 50-60 years! Unbelievable photo safaris are much cheaper and just as much fun!! The time around the fire pit sharing stories at nite are just as good as the hunters stories!! May be something to think about if you’ve ever wanted to see Africa from a different perspective!!! Still have several hunting spots left as well!!! Sept 11-21 2024!!

Haven’t said anything on here but here goes! Anyone that has been in the studio the last 5 or 6 weeks knows how cripple I am again! Been on a cane for over a month! Back doing great and all of a sudden my left knee, replaced in 2005 decided to go south! Dr Drez told me it was a 20 year knee and I got almost 19 out of it!! It’s been a great knee, it’s walked miles in africa, climbed mountains in Greenland and Canada plus all the adventures chasing with and after my Grandboys!! After many X-rays and intensive knee exams Dr Foret sent me to a Dr that specializes in replacement revisions! Surgery in Monday morning and I get new parts for this old knee. Good news is all the metal parts are good and secure so he will be changing out the plastic parts and doing some tightening up of the ligaments!! So ready to be out of pain especially after all I went thru in 2022!! Gotta be ready for hunting season and africa next year!! Wish me luck Monday and throw a prayer or two in please!!

It’s that time of year again!! Please look at these pics before you grab the knife!! Bad and wrong cuts make for a lot of extra work that can’t always be covered up!!!

Just finished up a beautiful pair of Mozambique Nyala bulls!! Zambezi River delta habitat complete with guinea fowl feathers from birds I shot!!

07/09/2023

Here we go! I’ve been a booking agent for Game Hunters/Bird Hunters Africa and Zambezi Delta Safaris for over 20 years! My good Friend and Africa Brother, Mark Haldane, owner and operator , ask me to put together a Steve German - Mozambique safari! We settled on the dates of September 11-21, 2024!
Mungari camp is a 10 tent camp with all the comforts of home! Hardwood furniture and full bathrooms in the tents!! As of now I have 5 tents spoken for!!
This is not a cheap safari but this is not a high fence safari! This is as Mark calls it - The Real Africa!! This is like going to Africa 50-60 years ago! I always say it’s like a National Geographic tour from the past! I have hunted it 3 times and have fallen in love with the Real Africa!!!
If anyone out there is interested in this adventure please PM me or call or stop by the studio! I promise this is a hunt and experience of a life time! You’ll see more animals than you can imagine and see people living like they have for years in the past!! Again Sept 11-21, 2024!

07/03/2023

06/21/2023

As I’ve said before! Ya never know what’s gonna come thru that door sometimes!!!! 😂

06/01/2023

Today, June 1st we will no longer be accepting or doing anymore skin mounted fish! We are moving to reproductions only. We use very upper end repos and most people people can’t tell the difference. This is a decision Josh and I have been discussing for several months and as of today it is done!

Not pretty by a long shot but a little make up goes a long way!! 😂
