Its March Fur Madness at the Taxidermy Den! Down below are my 5 assistants who help me to day by day weather is eating any scrap meat from fish, being used as a live reference when mounting predators, rodent control, or simply hanging out and keeping me sane while doing book work. I will be starting on some big mammal projects soon so there will be plenty of scraps to go around. Thank you to all my new and loyal followers! Remember to give your pet extra pats and scratches today!

“Some of your best memories are going to be with your family, on a fishing boat, or in the hunting stand,” said Kat Wilke of Kat’s Taxidermy Den. Respecting the animal is central to her work.

Official Logo for my business!! This logo is inspired by my Dad's biggest buck shot. I was around 16 years old when my dad came home on the last day of rifle season with this beautiful deer who scored over 200. This was the beginning of me learning and being curious about creating taxidermy myself. I have many core memories with my family hunting and fishing. And thats why I started this business. To create art and preserve our culture and families best hunting and fishing memories whether thats a monster buck or a crazy story.
