This mount is what I call the “Leech Lake limit”. On my favorite body of water, you can have 4 walleyes, only 1 can be over 20”. So this mount is 3 just under 20” and one 28”.

Bobcats are one of the most “trickiest” animals to recreate. We think this one turned out pretty good though!

Recent dead mount for a great client who is going to trick it out with picture, shell box and calls on the shelf.

So normally I get all the credit for things I post when in reality everyone in the shop has a hand one way or another in the final product.
Today’s post is to show what a great team I have.
Last weekend they took 4 birds to the state show and 3 of the 4 are customers mounts, so this is the kind of work you can expect to get back from our studio.
Jason and Grady took first and best of categories in their divisions and Grant took two seconds for his turkey and woodduck entry’s.
I’ve blessed to have such a talented and fun staff!
Great work boys!

The latest buck ready to head to his forever home.
This buck has possibly the longest brow points I’ve ever seen in almost 10,000 deer that have rolled thru my studio.

Last week the boys joined me in Florida for a “team building” get together.
We had a great time, each getting a shark, catching crappies, bow fishing Gar and being social at “the springs” and in Nashville on the way home.
Thanks to Jason for manning the studio while we were gone.
Grady took home the honors of the biggest Shark, 2.53lb crappie and 7 1/2lb largemouth bass!
Grant was especially on point with the Gar’s..
Very little sleep but a great time was had by all!
