About the Artist:
My name is Curtis Cook and I am from Orleans, Michigan. I have been married to my lovely wife Daisy for 18 years and we have one son named Trenton. I started becoming familiar with taxidermy while in middle school, at the age of 14. My first deer mount was completed at the age of 17 and was doing taxidermy part time until 2003 when the taxidermy work load was so great that I had to go full time and I have not looked back since then. I am a graduate of the Northeast Michigan School of Wildlife Art in Alpena Michigan. I’ve had the opportunity to work for other taxidermists in the past, where I’ve learned that quality is much more important than quantity. I have been a full-time taxidermist since 2003 and am currently a founding member,camera man,hunter what ever needs to be done guy, for T.O.G. Outdoors( The Other Guys Outdoors). I am a currently member in good standing with the Michigan taxidermist association where in the past I have served as a board member.As a member of the MTA, I also am in charge of the purple heart mounting for some of our nations finest soldiers. In the past I also did an article for a local magazine called "The Avid Sportsman".

Okay everyone here is some good news for you all.
We are finally getting caught up on our back log of work and looking to raise the quota of deer we normally take in for the season Looking to take in 80-100.
Right now, the return time is at 10-12 months that time will get longer as the season progresses of course. We will also be offering our premium service for up to 10 deer this year and will have a 4–6-month turnaround on that premium service.

Wishing everyone a safe and successful season this year.
Thank you and God Bless,
Curtis
