Been waiting on glue and noses. Supplies came in today so it’s go time. We’ve got four ready to mount. Getting this slob prepped to mount this evening and hopefully put together by Wednesday evening.

Turkey heads are being sent out soon as soon as I can get some dry ice. Going to knock out these deer and start injecting feet these next two weeks!

Happy Memorial Day! Thankful for all the brave men and women who payed the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live in a free country and be able to do the things that we all love to do.

We had a busy day in the shop yesterday. Fleshed and turned two capes, shaved one and mounted one. We are getting down to the single digits on deer.

Finished up and headed home. This is one of those you wish could hang around the shop forever.😁 I’ll probably never hold another 8 pointer this big again.

Called a customer this week and asked if I could take his head to the Indiana State Taxidermy Championships and of course he said “Yes!”

Picked it up yesterday evening and did a little grooming and hit the road at 4am this morning to Madison, IN. Indiana has some amazing taxidermist throughout the state. I wasn’t expecting much but we pulled off a second place in my division. I’m blown away for my first year doing this and I believe that deer was my 19th or 20th deer I had ever mounted. Got some great feedback and now it’s time to get to work!

First taxidermy competition this weekend. Some beautiful pieces here. Got four hours of classroom time with world champion Jena Everage. If I’m not learning then I’m not getting any better for my customers. Anxious to see how I do, but more so for some good learning feedback.

Put this one together last night. If you know me then you know I’m a sucker for big 8’s. This is by far the biggest 8 I’ve ever had in my hands. This would be an absolute dream deer for me!

9 more deer to go and then it’s turkey time.

Got another firearm deer done for a young man last night. Got a couple more ready to go on the stand.

Still have two spots for turkeys left and then I’m done taking anything in till next deer season. I want to have the shop cleared out by the time deer season rolls around.

Good luck out there! Season is winding up but from what I’m hearing this cool weather has them doing their thing again. Get out there and roll one!🦃

A mega bird just walked through the door! Triple beard and big ole hooks! Down to a couple spots for the year.
