We recently had some Mandarin drakes in prime condition become available. This is likely the last time this will happen. If you are interested in having one mounted, reach out and we can secure one for you before they are gone.

I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July, celebrating the Red, White, and Blue! Let's keep that rolling into the weekend. How about a little goose red, white, and blue to get your Saturday going?

The Association that is responsible for the education and growth you have seen in many Taxidermists in our state, including myself, is in need of some help. Your support directly goes to funding trainings, judging and critiques during our competitions, and many other things that you benefit from in the end. Please consider helping!

The Wisconsin Taxidermists Association is hosting a gun raffle:

Tickets: $50 each, with a maximum of 1,500 tickets available.

Prizes: 100 winners, with approximately $45,000 in total retail value.

Drawing: Saturday, August 2nd at 7 pm at the Hilton Garden Inn, Oshkosh, WI (you don’t need to be present to win).

Prize Pickup: Winners receive a Scheels gift card covering the full cost of their gun plus tax, which can be used for the firearm or other merchandise.

Second Chances: After each drawing, winning tickets are returned for additional chances to win.

If you’d like your gun shipped to an FFL dealer, please note that you’ll be responsible for shipping and transfer fees.

Payment methods accepted: Venmo, cash, or check.
Message me directly to claim your ticket or request a full prize list (so it stays compliant free with FB). We can do it 100% remotely and send your tickets, or if you are near, we can arrange pickup/drop off. You do not be present to win either.

Help me get rid of these and support a great cause!

Update time- Due to the storm damage in the area on April 18th, we are not having any pickups or customer drop offs in May. We will reach out in June, after things have found some balance.

Still at it this week. Beautiful storm wigeon, mallard/black duck cross with some unique head color, a partially molted gwt, and a cool pose on a nice wigeon. Thanks again to everyone for trusting us with your hard earned trophies!

Check out these feet that are all set to go on a really unique colored mallard x black duck hybrid. An unpainted foot shows the detail we are able to achieve with these. Add in the fact that they are cast off a freshly harvested bird and the end result is a very accurate foot in shape and color.

Winter storm coming at us today like a Jackie Chan bluebill setting in the decoys.

We also had the privilege to work on a bibbed hen and a primo pintail.

Simple but eye catching. With habitat, less is typically more in terms of creating a visually appealing piece. It's easier to clean and maintain as well. If I could only mount one duck, it would be these guys.

Ended the week with a primo drake Pintail. This thing was a dream to work on. January birds and even December birds are where it's at on most species.

Here's a few custom paint schemes we just finished for our work flow. It's a shirt week around here, with a Texas Predator hunt only days away, but we are fired up to get these birds into production.

Let's take a minute to talk about what goes into our paint jobs. First of, we start with a blank canvas, the white pintail head in the 1st picture is an example. From there, we pull up reference photos of live birds, not the dead bill from a client bird, as that is no longer live reference. We us a mix of powder paints and acrylics to layer and achieve the depth and realism found in nature. As with every aspect of taxidermy, we can never get it perfect, but in striving to continually get it closer, we land on something that is a pleasing version of the real deal.

Even something as subtle as adding a layer of raw umber to a black golden eye bill creates depth and the leathery look they have. It's a fun game we play, trying to hit the mark. Anyway, enjoy your Tuesday and get after it!
