Thanks! I started 8 years ago. But I only do a few mounts each year.

I learned from watching taxidermy DVD’s, and reading about 1000 hours worth on the internet.

I recently took a 4 day whitetail course taught by Wes Mote, world champion taxidermist.

Exceptional job.

I see hundreds of whitetails close up every year at work and few taxidermists are able to capture that natural expression around eyes & mouth.

Thank Lefty! I promise you though there’s much better out there! I also have to put in about 3 times more hours into them to look as good as others lol.
