here is another piece that went to the show, This was a combined artist piece done with my friend Dawson Grimes at my shop and we really enjoyed putting it together. We ended up with a second-place ribbon on this. Dawson and I did the cat and the base together and I did the bird as part of the habitat.

We just back from the Illinois Taxidermy Convention. I was blessed to have received blue ribbons on all four of my birds. I placed best of category in the professional division waterfowl. Best of category professional division Upland Gamebird. Migratory waterfowl hunters Best Of Show, Pheasants forever award, Best professional mount Ducks Unlimited and the Professional division competitors award from Matuska. I was fortunate enough to share a table with some other very talented people who also won some best of categories and some other awards. Our table was alive and we had a great time! We appreciate all of the business and support from our customers. Its back work!

We are currently behind due to some unforeseen circumstances. We are working to get caught up so please be patient. We will call your as soon as your items are ready.

Attention Waterfowl Hunters... as the season progresses and the specimens get better; the phone keeps ringing, one of the most common questions we get is how to preserve the bird. Please wrap the head and bill, feet with wet paper towels. place it in a bag and freeze the bird if you do not plan to bring it to us right away. Things are shaping up with the weather and things could get interesting. good luck and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! The freeze is coming... go hunting!
