We are very excited to announce that we will be moving to a new BIGGER shop sometime (hopefully) this year!

Thanks to our amazing community, the business has grown to a point that efficiency has been difficult in our current building.

Rather than deal with the logistics of constructing a new shop at our current location we were able to connect with some friends south of Ellis KS that have a 3600 sq ft shop that is ready to go!

Which means we are looking for a buyer that would like to live the country farm dream that we have so enjoyed for the last 4 years. There is also an optional side income and lease back agreement that can come with the property.

Here are a few pics, please contact me if you or someone you know might be interested. We will be listing with an agent this next week if we don't find someone before then.

Thanks for looking and considering...and a huge thank you for all the support that has made the success of our business possible!

Had a previous customer call about picking up another deer to beetle clean. When I pulled in the drive and saw this beauty I thought I must have heard him wrong but he proceeded to show me his house full of giant bucks and said he just didn't have any more room for shoulder mounts. One of the most humble and accomplished hunters I've ever met!

Spent the weekend with the legendary Todd Kranau and a group of professional taxidermists at the Nebraska State Taxidermists Association Winter Seminar on African game.

Thankful for his expertise and tips repairing a cape buffalo skull a customer sent in that had major bug and weather damage from the harsh African climate.

Now onto painting and finish work back at my shop!

A couple years ago I found an old hay hook in our barn and had the idea to mount a couple pheasants on it for a display piece in the shop.
Since then it has become my most requested bird mount!

The customer wanted a specific pose for this bobcat. The form alteration got a little wild but it came together great in the end
