Awesome work!!

[wildbill]

I wonder what % of taxidermists have your skills, I'm guess less than 5%, anyway just wondering how you took it to such a high level, self taught? Good mentor? Or just natural talent? Bass pro should have hired you when they fired in cowtown, some of those mounts are just horrendous, like seriously looks like a blind person did them.

[zewks]

Wow unreal!

[fortsask]

Very nice! Thanks for posting!

[Stinky Buffalo]

Do you do any repair work or modifications on old work?

[bucksnbears]

Said it before and will say it again!
Ben, I'm a taxidermy snob and you sir are a

W0RLD CLASS artist!

That cougar is incredible!
