Some of the taxidermy I’ve been doing for the last 7 months..

05/27/2025

So it’s been around 7 months since I’ve even wanted to go back to this page but, I’m doing fine I had no real idea how many items I still had to do, and doing everything myself is a bit more time consuming for sure!! I really thought I had the future figured out but I didn’t. I’ve been doing this job that I have truly loved for 47 years now and I’m tired. We have been doing 250+ deer heads a year and plenty of other species and lifesize mounts for the last 20 years or so. I’ve had a huge presence in mounting almost every one myself as far as the final look to it, since 1980. Soon I will be trying to sell the business so the oldest taxidermy firm in the USA can hopefully carry on. But I know realistically no one wants to work that hard anymore. Pretty sad, but I kept it going for the last 23 years that I owned it. I will be posting photos of some of the taxidermy I have been doing for the last 6 months and I still have a few months of work still to do. I’m not giving up till they are all completed. Thanks to all the help I’ve had over the last 23 years and a big Thank You to all my loyal clients and trusting me!! This company has been my life long passion and I made a living doing what I wanted to do since I was around 14 years old. Think about that!! Pretty cool!!!!

So I will not be accepting any work this fall. I have to much work backlogged. And my help is leaving for bigger and better things. It kills me to say this. But this e. business and you all have been good to me. My feet kill me as I’m always on my feet. I’m 64 now and not having help will kill me. I will either finish up what I have in here now or give trophies back. Sorry for the notice. I was just informed minutes ago my help is leaving today. Please don’t call for a few days as I’m not able to talk. Frank

I haven’t posted pics for a while now. Been busy as heck mounting the deer as they are coming back from the tannery, and not in the order in which they were sent. We are making great progress and considering how late they came back we are doing pretty good. Thanks for being patient we assure you we haven’t forgotten you. We will give you a mount that will last a lifetime.

Since we haven’t received but a small handful of deer capes back from the tannery yet we have been “trying” to stay busy mounting the few things we have to do. It’s terrible. Worse I’ve ever experienced in my 46 years. Usually by now I’ll have all the Elk, Antelope, and Mule deer finished and starting on our hundreds of wt deer we have to do,, please be patient I’m trying to. With little sleep.

A great day today, got my second turkey this morning. My biggest weight bird so far and the thickest beard. Ended the day catching bass on top water. I’m blessed.

Just finished this beautiful Alaskan Brown Bear for a local hunter who hunted him in Port Hiedon, Alaska. And that’s my new Granddaughter I’m holding showing her the big “stuffed bear”. ❤️

Spring Turkey season never gets old to me. This one was really a great hunt. Tons of gobbling and after a 300 yard move around him figuring about where he seemed to be heading I killed him at about 17 yards. Big long beard and nice spurs!!💥🦃💪🏼

We also just finished the largest black bear I’ve ever worked on. ( that’s 42 years!!). This one weighed 585 lbs from Manitoba Canada. And an archery trophy!! It was mounted on a Grizzly bear form.
