A customer came to me with a skull (deadhead) he found of this awesome buck. The customer got a salvage tag for the rack and asked if I could find a large cape to do a shoulder mount because he didn’t want this incredible buck go to waste. Luckily another customer wanted a euro mount for a large buck he harvested but didn’t want to waste the cape. Both items fit together perfectly. I had to put some color into the antlers, since they were bleached out.

This year has been great business again. I want to thank everyone who has brought me the the business, I have some great customers. I just want want to let everyone know I am at full capacity for the year.
Unfortunately I do have to add this- please do not call or message about last years deer. I will let you know when your order is ready. most taxidermist are a year or more out on getting animals back (and I am like most taxidermist).
Unfortunately I have had to cut clients off my list do to constant hounding. Again I do want to thank all my loyal, repeat and new customers. Have a safe and happy holidays.

“Why does it take so long to get my mount back?”
Because, John… I can get a month’s worth of work in one day.
Because every single piece goes through hours of prep before I can even start the fun part.
Because I’m human and I have a life too.
Don’t rush your taxidermist — be kind.

Just a reminder with this warm weather if you get a deer that you’re gonna mount make sure you get them cooled off as quickly as you can to help prevent hide slippage thanks and good luck hunters
