This will be the last shop shot from the old location. Electric goes into the new home shop tommorow and should be all moved in by Friday.  Thanks for looking - Matt

(It Meets HOA/CCR's and City Code, so it goes without saying that it was a whoppin' getting it all set up.) As always Sir, I will continue to post pics as long as folks like to look at 'em.

Love the spec (like always) I really like the sitting Pheasant, never seen that pose before.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

The mounts look great as always, and I also look forward to your pictures. How far are you moving from your current shop?

I love the sitting pheasant on the wall and the golden eye. What is the bird between the sitting pheasant and GWT? Dove? Chakalaka?

I think I see a Hollywood !! Yessir, and it's shaping up to be something special. What a freakin' specimen! You will have to wait a little longer as I want to do a special base for it and have it photographed. Should be a nice Christmas Present.

Someone's Pheasant got skinned, wheeled and washed today...hmmmm, I'm not sayin', but it was really one of the top birds from last year's pheasant batch. Brad's are being worked on as well.

I'm Sorry it took so long to respond, but I've been working on the new shop all week and keeping up with mounting and finishing birds as well...tough week, but very satisfying in the end. No rest for the weary though, final installs of shop equipment on Sunday and then back to mounting on Monday. (Important to note: I'm not complaining about the long hours...I'm thankful to have a job in this economy.)

Where did the two wigeons go those were amazing especially the storm Client brought them back this week to add a Glass Case to protect them. I will extend the habitat and add water to the scene in a new walnut base.
