Good evening everyone! For all you guys that have deer/ducks or whatever with me from last season please read. I am a one man show. Meaning I take orders, go get supplies,handle all customer relations-complaints. Do all skinning,fleshing,mounting and finish work on all animals that come through the shop. I do all the cleaning and bleaching of all euro mounts. I clean the shop, do any and all maintenance, tools, saws,freezers etc. I work a full time job, meaning I work every evening, after I get home from work. Almost every Saturday, and usually Sunday evenings after church. And on top of all this I'm in the middle of building a house- shop. Oh and then there's that thing called life that calls my name occasionally. So with all this being said, yes I still have your deer/ducks!! If you dropped it off to me or if I picked it up from the processor for you, I STILL HAVE IT!! And I PROMISE I'm doing my best to catch up and get everything done! So if your patience has ran out with me, and you desperately need your animal back, please feel free to call and schedule a time to come on by and pick it up and carry it to someone else. Remember, in this business the quickest is NOT the best. And if a guy in this business is not behind, I'd question his ability-work. And no this does not mean I'm quitting or anything like that! Just saying I'm behind and please be patient!!!
Thanks to all my clients for trusting me with your business!!! I'll have you ready to go soon!

Good morning everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted anything but rest assure I've been busy. If you haven't already heard, I've sold my house and shop and I'm in the middle of building a new one. I'm currently working out of a rented shop about 2 miles from where I was. If your waiting on something to get done, please be patient. Between the move, my day job and trying to get things inline on our house I'm stretched thin. I assure you I'm trying my best to get things caught up. With all that being said, prices on materials is just like everything else nowadays. They've went up! So with that I must make price increases. Shoulder mounts will be $550. this year. Euro mounts will remain the same, but prices on plaques have increased, so if you want a panel on your deer we will discuss it at that time. Thanks for your understanding and patience!!!

Good evening everyone. If any of you that have animals at my shop are wandering why the lengthy wait I do apologize. I work a full time day job and do taxidermy in the evenings and on weekends. And due to the workload in the taxidermy shop I get behind. If your waiting on something please be patient, quality work takes time and then there's that thing called life that gets in the way as well. Rest assure if I have something for you it will be done and to the best of my ability, it just may take me a little longer to get it done sometimes. But believe me I work daily in my shop most days while normal folks are sleeping. I thank you for the business and your patience. Ivan

She shot a hoss of a whitetail, 11pts 320+lb behemoth!! The palmation on this deers main beams is amazing!! Truly blessed to be able to do this and have a wife and daughter that loves it as much as I do!!!
