Looks like some hackers have been busy! Our web site, and according to some new reports I’ve read, somewhere between 90 and 400 MILLION web sites run by Wordpress have been hacked and REMOVED in the last few days! This includes ours! Wow! Sure hope there’s a good solution to this! Waiting for some word right now from the company that we work with for our site.

47 Grizzlies seen in one morning... it's PAST TIME to delist!! 1-2 people PER YEAR, on average, have been KILLED by these lower 48 grizzlies. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem had a target population of 500. They now have over 1000. I'm sure there is a good chance some liberal, wacko judge who knows nothing about wildlife management, will prevent them from being delisted. Triple those odds if it's recommended by the Trump administration!

When conservation actually works, we should have the courage to let go.

Accents such as those with this kudu and waterbuck make them "stand out from the crowd".

Here's a unique one... This is a caribou from Greenland. Greenlanders often refer to them as reindeer. This one is unique in that it is nearly all white. It is done as a wall mount which is also a bit unusual as most of the big, life-sized mounts we do are floor mounts.

Here’s a pretty unique cape buffalo wall diorama we did for a client recently. As you can imagine, it was not an easy piece to hang! We had to create a template for the wall in order to correctly place all of bolts for hanging each piece. We used scaffolding to hang the higher ones. Not too safe trying to crawl up a ladder holding one of these beasts! In the end, the couple we did them for was very pleased with this one of a kind piece!

It's bobcat season! For once, the weather in Wisconsin is fairly cooperative for hunting. Plenty of snow for tracking and at fairly regular intervals. Check out some of our bobcat options here: https://mayestaxidermystudio.com/185-2.html

Wall Pedestal Cape Buffalo. Rugged old "Dugga Boy". These will often get over painted when finished, making them look a little "too pretty"! We try and leave them as original as possible. Leaving all of the "character scars" and thin spots.

Wall Pedestal Himalayan Ibex. Pretty impressive headgear!
