Went to the Alabama State Taxidermy (ATA)show at Guntersville Lodge this past weekend. One of the best places I have ever stayed with incredible views! One of the best shows I’ve ever been too! Can’t say enough about how friendly and kind everyone was! It sure was great to see some old friends, and made some new ones!
I was fortunate enough to win some awards that are very special to me because 3 of the 5 awards I got were Peoples Choice, Taxidermist Choice, and Judges Choice awards! It feels really good to see people enjoy what you worked so hard on!
I also learned a lot at this show, and can’t wait to put the new info to use on next years piece!

Thanks so much for everyone’s support, love y’all!

Important information on how to get a bird to me in good shape. Watch to the end for the freezing info!

Please take the time to read what Adam wrote about his Dad! Great story, and great people!

They brought me his beautiful smoke phase, double bearded bird last year and gave it to me to mount, and keep in my showroom to be enjoyed by many, for years to come! I also mounted one of my birds, which is a red phase, in the same pose to complete a scene that hangs with his bird above my showroom doors.

Gary French is a KY native, a Vietnam War Veteran, a retired school teacher, an avid outdoorsman, & an amazing father. From the time Gary retired from teaching in 2005, he has had the opportunity to make lots of memories & fill lots of tags, including two gobblers every spring since that retirement. Along the way he has also instilled his enthusiasm for hunting & fishing in his 3 sons.

In September of 2021, Gary was dealt a blow that put his gobbler streak in jeopardy: he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. After 55 straight days in the hospital for chemotherapy, he returned home, gained his strength back in the winter, and made sure to fill two gobbler tags that spring. While my family has always understood and valued the blessings bestowed on us, Gary’s cancer diagnosis has given us a renewed sense of appreciation for the special memories we share in the woods. Every tag is more than a tag. Every passing season is a reminder of God’s grace to our family and every tag filled is more about the time together enjoying the outdoors. I’m so thankful for a Dad who served his country, serves his sons, & gives them his time and support in any way he can.

We knew this big white phase gobbler was around our farm. Unbelievably, he was the first bird on the ground on opening day of the 2024 season. My dad & I doubled that morning for the second opener in a row. We wanted the bird to be appreciated, not only for its beauty, but also as a symbol of God’s precious gift of time in the outdoors. We hope everyone will enjoy seeing it in your showroom for years to come.
Sincerely, Adam French

Had a great weekend with friends and family at the 2025 NWTF Sports Show and Convention in Nashville! I was fortunate enough to win Master of Masters Best of Show! There were some extremely talented competitors there, and I admire their work!! It really could have went either way, it was a tight finish,and I was fortunate for it to be my day. Congratulations to all award winners, it was great catching up with some Taxidermy friends from all over the country!

Thanks to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me!! Thanks to my family for sacrificing time with me so I could focus on this piece!

A lot of people asked me how I came up with the mouse idea. We raise Turkeys, chickens, and peacocks, and one day I was moving a feed barrel and 8 mice ran out, and the Turkeys and chickens ate them within 4 seconds. That’s when the idea was born and I worked for 6 weeks to bring it to life. I spent 3 years slip casting Turkey heads and trying to figure out the process and perfect it. I finally poured a head I was satisfied with. I hope y’all enjoy the pictures.

Good luck to everyone this Turkey season! Be safe and make some great memories!

Like always, Turkey is our main focus and will continue to be! We are on schedule with our turnaround times being a year or less. I should have all the Turkey finished by season this spring, and will be ready to rock n roll on the new projects brought in! Thanks again for the support, I am so grateful for all of you! Everyone be safe, and good luck! See ya this Spring!
