Some great looking work

The skill level of a lot of these people is wild. And going start to finish in 3 hours is insane

The skin creases in that Nilgai is insanely good. With the turned neck how the ripples and creases are. That was formed in the manikin then the skin was pulled over and perfectly placed. That's skill guys. You go to a taxidermist who has great eyes, ears, and can form the skin like that you found yourself an artist

It didn’t cover many whitetail last night as those are obviously the largest number of entries. We only had an hour and I wanted to get my votes in for People’s Choice. There were at least 5 world class taxidermy whitetail in the room. My favorites was actually in the professing division and not masters. I THINK it might have been done by a 18-20 yr looking guy based on the folks I saw interacting around it. I’ll try to get more info and pics today.

Also the snow leopard was very nice and I’ll get more face pics today.

That running wolf is really fantastic.

I will be driving back from Dallas after lunch, I don’t suppose they will let just anyone in to have a look?

Is it like SHOT show or something? Only industry folks?

 

[buck wild]

I think they have a public viewing, maybe a few bucks BUT they start taking down mounts at 2 pm !!!

I didn’t do a taxidermy piece per set but entered the Original Art. There’s only a People’s Choice Award for that category. All those are announced tonight.
