After skinning a buck a few weeks ago and not puking 🙌😆. I convinced myself that maybe taking in just a few bucks from close family wont kill me and will give me something to mess around with once baby gets here. Thank you Ian, April & Jeff and congratulations on your trophies.

*** not excepting anymore deer this year due to my pregnancy. ***

Another mount going home today!! 😬 This buck has a pretty unique story. He was actually harvested many years ago and when the hunter went up to him he was previously wounded or hit by a car and was all skin and bones and gangrene. So nothing on the buck was salvageable. He was made into a euro mount until finally being put back together using a doner cape! Fun project and beautiful result.

Thursdays always use to be "in the shop" days. Pregnancy has changed that recently butttt I was able to finish up mounting all my deer from last season just waiting for them to dry for some finish work. Ill post pictures as I get to them. For now enjoy this picture of Cody's buck all finished and ready to go home! 🙌

Now that family knows I can officially post why im taking a break this year and go into a little detail why ❤️

✨️ We have another little one on the way!!! ️We are so beyond excited to welcome this baby in April! ❤️

Without going into to much detail pregnancy has always been very rough on me and I was very sick with my first child and this baby i was diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) which is a severe form of nausea and vomiting that goes way beyond the "normal" morning sickness. With that being said I can't cook dinner without puking so there is absolutely no way id be able to skin a deer at this point. Not to mention im very tired and mounting deer is no walk in the park. Thats why after talking it over with my husband we decided it was best to not except any deer this season ☺️

Im HOPING to be able to start taking in deer again next season but.. i have to take into consideration i am a one person shop who does it all by myself so im not sure how life will look next October ! But ill keep everyone updated as I figure all this out!

Again thank you all for everyone's support and in all seriousness... get out there and shoot a big buck for me 😝

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to me and asked if id mount their buck this year! You guys ...

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to me and asked if id mount their buck this year!

You guys truly are the best. As much as I would LOVE to mount them, I can't this year. Ill be making a post shortly explaining why im taking a temporary break this season. But I have full intentions of getting back in the swing of things next season if all goes well❤️

Thank you again for supporting my hobby. It truly means so much to me 🥰

Until then, enjoy this picture of my target buck taunting me. The Rut is on! Look at that neck 😮

Pack mount went to its final home last week! Another first for me, but super fun!

Customer gave me free range with this one so I had the amish make the stand as rustic as they could and ordered matuska reflective eyes.

Congratulations Nick on your beautiful buck and thank you for trusting me to work on it ✨️

I want to start off by saying Thank You to everyone that has sent me their trophies! I had so much fun and learned so much this last year! You guys really are the best!! I will be finishing up the last of them shortly and posting pictures of them!❤️

Unfortunately it is with a heavy heart that i will be temporarily closing, and will not be excepting any animals this 2025-2026 deer season. I will be taking some time away to attend to an important personal matter.

This has been a difficult decision, but I am excited for this new chapter and appreciate your understanding during this time.

As always have fun this season and be safe!
