Had a great weekend at the MN taxidermy competition & convention. I decided to Moved up to Masters division in small mammal category. Was hoping for a good showing did not expect this. A blue ribbon and my first state championship in small mammals 😱 and a DNR choice award to top it off. So honored and the best part is this coyote hide was given to me by a fellow taxidermist who unfortunately passed away from ALS years ago. So had extra meaning for me. Been holding on to this one for awhile. Feels good to get it done and be successful.
