When this duck was dropped off he had a single bb embedded in the base of his bill. The customer asked if it was possible to keep it there. The answer being "of course!"

Here's a walk through of the show entries. Take a look at all the cool stuff that was there! Biggest show in North Carolina Taxidermy Association history. I was glad to be a tiny part of it. I walked away impressed and inspired by the craftsmanship I saw.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Buckle up, it's a long one.

I'll tell ya the truth, when I walked into the show room carrying my weird little duck I just about turned right around and walked back out. There was no way I belonged in the same room as all those other beautiful mounts. But I had paid to do this and I couldn't afford to throw that money away so even with my face flaming red with embarrassment, I dropped my little duck off and power walked straight back to my hotel room where I promptly had a complete melt down. I stayed up until nearly 1am fiercely battling the urge to sneak back down to the showroom, steal my duck away and drive the four hours straight back home and try my best to pretend none of this ever happened. Alas, I was finally lulled to sleep by the Golden Girls and when I woke up the next morning there was nothing more to do but wait and see. At noon the doors were opened and we all could finally see how our mounts placed. I paced around outside for a good long while and then finally slid in the doors and walked as nonchalantly as possible around the last table to catch a glimpse of my duck. And propped right there on the stand was a shiny red ribbon. I walked by it twice before I finally stopped to look at it closely. Look, I know this ain't my very best work, I know that even my very best work wouldn't compare to the things I saw in that showroom. I know that it was only the amateur division. I know it was only a second place ribbon. But it sure did mean something to me. I was there alone and didn't have anyone to celebrate with so thanks for celebrating with me here and now! And I've got some great news: every duck I do will be better than the last! Onward and upward!

I spent this weekend at the North Carolina Taxidermy Association show! I learned a lot, got some great constructive criticism about how to improve my mounts and learned some new techniques. It's been a bit of a whirlwind and I'm ready for a good night's sleep in my own bed but this has been a good experience and I'm definitely coming home a better taxidermist!
