I had the honor and privilege to attend this class from Wes Mote in Texas back in July. It was a great time and I met some fantastic people. I can't wait for the next one. Thanks ladies for putting on this podcast.

Our first group podcast!

We had the privilege to be surrounded by many amazing taxidermists at Wes Mote’s Alumni Group class in Texas. Wes Mote is World Champion Taxidermist in Whitetail. He is also a great teacher and puts on group classes a few times a year. Wes put on this class for his past students, to teach some of new and exclusive molding and casting techniques.

We wanted to be able to share a little bit of the experience and also get into the minds of some of these great taxidermists. Not only do we talk competitions, and the competing mindset, we talk about tips, tricks, answer some questions from Taxidermy Q&A, and much more!

It’s an episode you won’t want to skip! I highly recommend watching this one on YouTube for the full effect, but it’s available wherever you listen to your podcasts as well.

Thank you so much for watching!! -Heather and Ashley

Did a little side project the other day and made 3 charcuterie boards out of a live edge piece of pecan I had laying around the shop. They are roughly 12" x 16", complete with rustic handles and rubber non-slip feet. $40 each. Let me know if you are interested.

Hey everyone, I'm making another hat order. If you want one, please comment below so I have a rough idea of how many of each to order. They are $25 each.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE BAKE SALE!!! THIS GIRL CAN BAKE!!!
If you've been in my shop, you've most likely met my daughter. Aside from being involved in taxidermy, she also loves baking and HORSES! She's been riding for quite awhile now and anytime "She sees a need... she meets the need!" She spent her own money to buy supplies and has spent the week making some delicious sweets and all the proceeds go to Apollo, a horse that needs help from the stable she rides at. I'm also going to hide some coupons in a few of the sweets for money off a mount of your choice.
Can't make it but want to donate... no problem! Hit me up and I'll send you the Venmo. Let's help this big hearted young lady raise some money!!!

UPDATE!
IF YOU HAVE A MOUNT HERE OR ARE LOOKING FOR ONE, MENTION THAT. DON'T WANT TO GIVE A COUPON TO SOMEONE THAT CAN'T USE IT.

What: Bake Sale for Apollo
When: Sunday May 26th from 2-4pm
Where: Culdesac of
655 Sycamore Lane Owings MD 20736

After wearing the same worn out Bonecollector hat for the last 3-4 years, I finally ordered some new ones. I have a very limited quantity right now. If there's a lot of interest I can order more. They are one size fits all flexfit and are $25 each. I'm not trying to make any money, just recouping the cost. Let me know if you are interested.

Few more out the door, on the next ones...

15/05/2024

My daughter got this shirt today for her birthday. I'm still amazed that someone out there put these 2 passions together on a shirt. Almost like they knew it was just for her, lol.

04/05/2024

Still rollin'! First feline for me. Can't wait to do more in the future. And a nice Maryland 9 point with a double throat patch picked up.

27/04/2024

Few more finished up...

Finished this fighting pair and delivered it yesterday to a very happy customer.

Just got back from the Maryland Taxidermy Convention. It was a great time with great people and Reagan and I learned a lot. I really love watching her learn along side me and I love sharing my passion with her. She blue ribboned and received a Best Of Category with her deer. I was 1 point from a blue on my deer, that's a mistake I won't ever make again and my habitat took a first place. Back to work...

Couple mounts sent out the door yesterday. The fox and pheasant was definitely a fun one. The pheasant is mounted to the fox's front leg to give the look that it's flying. Black ducks always make a pretty mount.

16/01/2024

Several things finished and out the door over the last few weeks to include a big ol' flying Tom, piebald shoulder mount, wood ducks, black ducks and I'll be finishing up a pretty cool fox mount this week.

29/12/2023

A couple pretty cool duck mounts headed home this week. And I got a few more drying plugs a turkey pinned up. Let's keep the momentum

28/11/2023

Couple ducks left the shop the other day. Pretty cool canvas back mount. Client knew exactly what he wanted.

27/11/2023

UPDATE! Maryland wolf skinned out and in the freezer. I got big plans for this guy... when I actually get time to work my own stuff, haha.

This morning was a roller coaster of emotion. Saw 3 coyotes early and was able to get one of them. That was exciting. Then about an hour later a big doe came off the hill, I got my sights on her only to realize that a big 10 point was right behind her. I settled in on him, stop him with the old mouth grunt and CLICK! Gun misfired... watched her and him run off. 10 minutes later this 8 point walked out in the bottom. Honestly in those moments after the misfire I would probably have shot anything out of spite. Just blessed that it was a good buck. This 350 round will get hung in the shop. Definitely a morning I'll never forget.

23/11/2023

Euro mounts coming in and going out. 1-2 week turn around on euros if your interested.

22/11/2023

I nice 9 point and a unique pheasant went home last night. Good luck out there this weekend and be safe.

02/11/2023

Always a blessing to put something in the freezer and on the wall.
