Awards in Taxidermy
In 2006, with minimal taxidermy experience, I decided to enter my first taxidermy competition (AIT). I won first place in the Amateur Division, Best of Category & the Horizon Award which amazed even the best of individuals competing at the show. Since that day, I have continued to compete with much success...
