To all my customers and friends,
It was not an easy decision, but after 60 years of doing taxidermy, I have decided to call an end to my career. Beginning now, I will not be accepting any more trophy’s that were not already promised.
Over the years taxidermy has allowed me to be very creative while completing untold thousands of mounts for all of you, everything from hummingbirds to a life-size giraffe. It has provided me the opportunity to make friends with other taxidermists and suppliers, not only from all over the United States, but also a few from other countries. Taking part in taxidermy competitions through the 90’s and a little later, both as a competitor and a judge, gave me the opportunity to both learn, and help others learn about the art of taxidermy, and develop many lasting friendships with others in the industry.
I’ve been fortunate to have many good customers over the years. I watched some of their kids grow up and mounted trophies for them, and even a grandkid or two. The stories of the hunts, and the excitement and pride in their trophy, was a big incentive for me to make sure I preserved their memory in a way that I got to see that big smile on their face when they walked in the door to pick up their finished mount.
I will miss all of this, that’s why it was a difficult decision, but I look forward to being able to spend more time with my grandkids, and great grandkids. The sore muscles, aching hands and swollen knuckles I won’t miss!
To all of you I say, thank you,
Carol
Many nice deer have been taken this season, and I am now filled up and no longer taking in any work at this time.
Thanks, Carol
