Here are a few projects we recently finished up.

03/05/2026

We took a trip down south to pick up our order from Ohio Taxidermy Supply. We got to catch up with everyone there. It was awesome to have the opportunity to take a tour of their facility, and a blast seeing how everything is produced. We even got to see some of the new products that they are working on for production in the near future. We look forward to trying them out when they come available.
We are blessed to be able to do business with the hard working folks at OTS. They have some of the best products on the market.
These should keep us busy until the fall!
