Timberland Taxidermy

Good luck to the youth hunters and bow hunters out this weekend. Should be a great one! Thought I'd share this amazing bowkill from last year harvested by Steven McBee. I would be happy to remove what is needed for a mount, just bring the entire deer here to the shop. This ensures a proper caping job, and a higher quality mount in the end. You don't have to, you can cape it yourself, but it doesn't cost any more to have me do it while you wait. Good Luck Everyone!!!!

Heck of a whitetail recently finished. Absolute stud.

Hunting has been tough out west so far this year. Fires and heat have been a terrible combo when it comes to killing elk. Here is a cool piece that just got picked up. Elk pedestals are so cool...if you have the room for one.

This was a really unique project. Not often I get to work on color phased bobcats.

Here's a really pretty bull that went out the door last week. Putting the finishing touches on the last couple bulls from last season now. Moving on to more big stuff, so I'm happy to have the extra room in the new shop. Not sure how we'd have done it in the old one.

Starting to finish up last year’s elk. They are taking up all the room I thought I had in the new shop. They are super pretty to look at though. This bull was a public ground bull shot by Adam Anderson last season. Good luck to everyone headed west in the next few weeks.

This was a special bird for me to work on because it belongs to my daughter Libby. We had a great hunt this spring, and the bird she shot was in excellent shape so I decided to mount it for a competition. It did really well winning best of categories at both shows I took it to. She was excited to see it done, and I really enjoyed putting it together for her.

This stunner is headed home today. Greg Cole

My cell phone doesn’t take the best pics, but here’s something just a bit different ready to go hone.

It's been too long since I've posted any work. We have been extremely busy in the shop lately.

I wanted to take a minute to thank Old Barn Taxidermy for sponsoring such a special award, and thank my peers for giving it to me. I have a few awards that I deem extra special, and this mentorship award is definitely one of those. I wouldn’t be where I am today as a taxidermist if it wasn’t for the Missouri Taxidermy Association and the members I’ve met that have helped me along the way. While I’m no where near as knowledgeable as many who’ve helped me, I’m happy to share what I know. Thank you again to everyone that wrote my name down, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s show.

If I have your deer, and you have your antlers, please bring them by the new shop.If I have your deer, and you have your antlers, please bring them by the new shop.

Timberland Taxidermy has a new address! I am still moving stuff daily and have a LOT left to move, but all drop off and pick ups are now here at my new shop. I was forced to lay my 2 employees off for a bit due to Covid-19, I’ve been working on finishing the new shop and moving stuff in, and also had a knee surgery, and recovery has been slower than anticipated. It’s a perfect storm for getting even further behind on my work, but I’ll keep grinding. Thank you to my clients for being patient.
