The fascination with wildlife and with the art of taxidermy has been a long time family business. By capturing the hunt and experience for other to see we can immortalizing the bond between our elders and the next generation and the ones to come in conservation. Now that my parents have decided to retire the business after almost 5 decades. Now the business is not a get rich business but it has given our family just enough to keep our heads above water growing up. My parents never really tried to advertise or push growth in the company more than taking out an add in the yellow pages. Now me and my brother would like to continue the adventure but with a twist we want to focus on replica taxidermy the processes of reproduction and re-creation of animals with out the need in harvesting the animals. For example your a fisherman that lands the biggest largemouth bass of your life instead of harvesting the fish take a few measurements like length and girth then take a few pics like most people are going to do anyway and we can make an exact replica for the wall a table top or even a whole natural scene in a display table the options are endless. We also are not limited to fish we can do alligators, turtles, snakes there really is no bounds to replicating natures beauty. But to revive the family business in this new direction we need new equipment, tools, a shop location along with advertising and a good website just the things a modern business needs to be successful these days. Now that my parents are retired and on a fixed income and me with a growing family I just do not have the capital to give us the bump up investment we need to get it started. Fifty thousand would be our dream donation but every little bit helps no matter how small. That is why I have turned to the internet for donations to help us reach our goals and make the world a better place by preserving our natural wonders for many generations to come.
