Forgive the crinkled up papers, but I’ve had a few folks ask what a competition taxidermy piece is judged on. Well, here’s the answers! (At least for a whitetail deer)

Competition taxidermy is judged partially on overall artistic merit, but mostly on anatomical accuracy. The pieces and parts the judges look closely at are listed on the scoresheet below πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

And each judge will be different as its based on his or hers opinions. One judge will mark what they see while another will mark completely different.

Thanks for sharing ☺️

4 years of busting my butt to continually improve my work is paying off!

Ashley and I just got home from the 2025 Pa Taxidermy Convention/Competition and it was a good weekend, to say the least. We were able to catch up with old friends, meet some new ones, soak in valuable information from world class taxidermists, attend seminars, view some incredible taxidermy work, eat good grub, crack a few cold ones, and play some cornhole.

But this year I was able to accomplish something I’ve been striving for, but fallen short of since I started taxidermy four years ago. I entered two whitetail deer in the professional division and walked away with two first place, blue ribbons.

Though I have bigger goals for the future, this is a milestone I’m happy to soak in πŸ₯‡ 🦌

Now it’s time to put competition taxidermy to the side (for the moment) and get back to client mounts 🀘🏼

Good morning!

With turkey season soon opening in parts of the west and south, I’d like to let everyone know that I will NOT be taking turkey this coming Spring.

Though the finished mounts look great, the turkey taxidermy process is a bear. But most relevant, my current workload consists of around 170 critters with a 13-15 month turnaround. This coming season, I’d like to tailor my critter intake so that I’m taking somewhere between 100-120 critters a season for mounts. If I can achieve that, I won’t be working 6 days a week and I’ll be working on the critters I enjoy working on the most.

With that being said, I will be happy to refer anyone looking to have a turkey mounted to a few great turkey taxidermists in the region.

Though I won’t be taking them for mounts, I’m excited to chase some Easterns in a few months! 🀘🏼 πŸ¦ƒ

Almost 2” of ice around his entire body! One of the most insane colds I’ve ever hunted! Thanks for preserving a memory forever!

Nice save!
