Taxidermy was always one thing through the years that I loved doing but the space and time conundrum snubbed out any real chance I had at making it a real business. However now the tides have turned and I have the resources to start up again.

Two sayings I tend to gravitate toward are “If you pursue your God given talent you won’t ever look for work, work will look for you” and “Be an inch wide and a mile deep”! These sayings are going to shine through in my business model and really make my business different, so let’s get into what separates me.

• First thing is I only want to do whitetail mounts for now. I know there are markets for other things but my main concern is scheduling and time. Sticking to the month turn around is the main focus for me ONLY second after the quality of the mount!

• Second you get to hang on to your horns to show off until your month! I don’t want to work around a pile of horns nor be responsible for them for 2+ months. Simply drop off your trophy the first week of the month you are booked for and pick it up in a month.

• Third is the transparency of the “Skip the line” option. Please understand this isn’t a price gouge or whatever this happens in business all over the world, most just won’t say it. Those months are the most sought after and cost more.
