Awards

     I have been competing in taxidermy for 6 years. In this time I am proud of the fact that I have been able to win some of the most prestigious awards in the industry. I attribute this to the fact that I take the time to educate myself and also attend seminars every year to stay at the top of the industry. I haven’t received lower than first place in a competition in over 5 years.

Here is a list of some of the awards I have won over the past few years.
