Most of our business revolves around deer and turkey, but elk, caribou (and other large mammal shoulder mounts), coyotes,
foxes, raccoons, bobcats, squirrels, and hogs can be done as well. For whitetail deer we do shoulder mounts,
wall pedestals, and pedestal mounts. European mounts, and antler plaques can also be done.
Small mammals (coyote or smaller) can be done as lifesize mounts or bust pedestal mounts, whichever you prefer.
Turkeys can be done in strutting, 1/2 strut, gobbling or gobbling with 1/2 strut, flying, breast mount, or breast
mount as a pedestal with a custom base. We also do fan tail mounts, with or without beard, and can include the feet.
Waterfowl taxidermy is priced on a case-by-case basis. Please call for a quote.

February 18-20, 2011 was the National Wild Turkey Federation Grand National
Championship Taxidermy Competition in Nashville, TN. Alicia took a whitetail buck and a full strut turkey to the competition.
Her deer was awarded a first place ribbon in the Master's Division. Her turkey won Best Strutting Turkey in the Master's
Division.
August 6-8, 2010 was the Kentucky Taxidermist Association's Annual Convention and
Taxidermy Competition. Alicia took 2 turkeys, a whitetail buck, and lifesize lynx to the competition and did well.
Every mount earned a blue ribbon in the professional division. She was awarded the Best All
Around Taxidermist award this year. For one turkey she won Best of Show professional turkey, with the other
turkey she was awarded the state chapter NWTF award. For the whitetail buck she took, she won Best Professional Deer and the
Derby City QDMA award. The lynx won Best Professional Small Mammal, Al Holmes Habitat Award, and McKenzie Taxidermist's
Choice Best Lifesize Mammal award. It was an exciting convention, to say the least!
February 18-21, 2010 was the National Wild Turkey Federation Grand National Championship
Taxidermy Competition. Alicia took a whitetail buck and a turkey to the show. Her whitetail buck won a first place,
along with a "Best Closed Mouth Deer" in the professional division. Her turkey took a first place ribbon, a Best of
Show professional division, "Best Strutting" in professional division, and the "Competitors Choice" award.
August 7-9, 2009 was the Kentucky Taxidermist Association Convention and Competition.
Alicia took a buck (2nd place), doe (1st place), and turkey (1st place) to the competition, and came back with 2 blues (1st
place professional division) and a red ribbon (2nd place professional division). Her turkey also was awarded the
Best Professional Gamebird award, and the KY State Chapter National Wild Turkey Federation award. She was also honored
to be awarded the Horizon award by the KTA.
In early June of 2009 Alicia spent two days mounting a turkey with the new "Best in
World" turkey taxidermist, Brett DeFrietas. She came home with several new turkey mounting techniques, and is incorporating
them into her mounts now. Thanks Brett! :)
In February of 2009 she attended the National Wild Turkey Federation national
convention in Nashville, TN, and competed in the taxidermy competition with four deer heads. Three were entered into
the professional division, and one into the commercial division. She came home with a blue ribbon (first place) and
two red ribbons (second place) in the professional division. In the commercial division, she took home another blue.
We are proud and excited with this accomplishment!
