Backwoods Taxidermy Backwoods Taxidermy is a full time studio located between Potsdam and Canton.

We are a full service studio mounting deerheads, gameheads, lifesize mounts, bird, fish, rugs, European mounts, and novelty mounts. I have been in the taxidermy industry since 2001 and use the most up to date forms, products, and taxidermy practices.

Last weekend was the annual UTNY competition and convention. We all had a great time and the kids did awesome. Parker upped his game and went to the amateur division and did great with his pheasant. Alexa changed it up with her turkey art piece which garnered lots of onlookers, those interested this spring she is offering these to customers. Lastly, I put Parker’s javelina he shot last year in the commercial division and it scored very well! Great weekend with the family!!
