Just finished up and delivered this Brown Bear from Alaska. Super cool project to have the opportunity to work on. He will be a great conversation starter for sure!

Celebrated the New Year! Made a quick run down to Hog Wild for some hog action. Weather was great for hunting and relaxing. Put some nice boar hogs down.
Shoutout to the guides Daniel and Colton for their efforts and hard work!! Makes these shorts trips run smoothly.

With the 2025 hunting and trapping seasons open/opening soon I would like to give everyone an update on work progress. I’m currently working on the last few deer from the 2024 season. I’ll be transferring to life size mammals next. Along with the waterfowl and upland birds.

As a reminder for this year I will only be taking in a limited number of deer for shoulder mounts. Only 10 spots available as of today (11/10/2025)
Returning customers will always be welcomed and I will accommodate them regardless.

In the coming future I will be able to have more time in the studio once our daughter is old enough to drive her self to school and after school activities. Which are very demanding and currently requires a lot more of my time than I originally planned on. Hopefully once that transition starts backed logged work will begin to flow into the finished product.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!! Be safe while out in the field!!

Attention: As the upcoming hunting season commences in the western region and approaches in Missouri, please note the following adjustments. Due to recent changes in my daily routine, I will prioritize completing my existing workload to ensure timely delivery to customers awaiting their trophies. Consequently, I will only accept a limited number of new projects during this hunting season. My operational hours will be restricted and variable, subject to family obligations. An updated price list will be available on my website, Wrtaxidermy.com, in the coming days, along with temporary adjustments until my backlog is cleared. Thank you for your understanding as I strive to manage this situation efficiently. Lance Van Dusen

Here is my 2025 Competition piece. This is my personal Nyala Bull from South Africa. I was honored to receive the Breakthrough Award, Judge’s choice for Best of Show. Also received North American Champion, Large Life size Mammal. First place Gold medallion for Natural Habitat and Second place Silver medallion for Challenge of the Arts.

More meaningful to me was receiving all of the compliments from the other competitors who also were in attendance at the show.  Thank you!!!

Been a busy year already with many new life experiences and demanding work schedules for both of us. My wife and I had the chance to go turkey hunting on Easter Sunday evening. We glassed up this lonesome tom feeding. Sneaked in behind him and with a few calls he came in to 15 yards. Sure was a great time to be out in the woods and fields watching and hearing all of spring time wildlife.
