This past weekend I participated in the South Dakota Taxidermist Association convention. I entered my first two mounts into the Professional Division with an effort and goal of learning from the higher level judging.
I was very pleased to have received a 3rd place for each piece!
It was a wonderful event. The seminars, people, and information shared was incredible. I gained so much that I am excited to bring back into my next pieces.
Thank you to all who encouraged me and gave such great constructive criticism and critiques!! I am very grateful, and I am very proud of how I did.

I just finished up this wall pedestal pronghorn mount.
It was a bit more of a challenge than your standard. The horns and skull cap were 25+ years old and the cape was a replacement. I ended up having to rebuild some of the horn bases.
With all that, I’m really happy with how it turned out. I hope you think so too.
is going to have a full trophy room!

I happy to share my first solo taxidermy animal!! I’m really proud of how this turned out! This a stud of a mule deer that I was happy to bring back to life. I hope you like it too!
I have to send a huge Thank You to for all the training, education, and coaching over the past year and a half. It’s been fun hanging out with a friend from back in our college days and getting to learn at the same time. There’s no way I could have gotten one done this well without the help.
Also, this would not have been possible if not for pushing me to pursue it and for to provide me with the critters to mount!
I am almost done with a pronghorn that I’m excited to share too.

I finished up a batch of deer just before Christmas. The bigger one has the bottom jaw attached. You’ll notice it’s a bit off. That’s because the deer had previously broke its jaw and had fused back together with a big lump on the one side and a loose molar. Off center was the only way the bone joints lined up.

Merry Christmas!!
