Since I have been assisting my dad in the posting of this blog, I thought I would do a little post myself!  I just wanted to share a couple of pictures and thank my dad for instilling in me the love of the outdoors and hunting.  And I'm grateful that my husband loves it too!  :)  We have had some fun experiences that past little while that just reiterates the fact that being outside and loving the outdoors is something that he has definitely put into us (me and my sisters.)  What's funny is when we were younger, we could take all the dance classes we wanted, just as long as we could take off the time to hunt with dad.  We could be girly, but we had to tough out those hunts with him too!  Having a family of my own now I definitely want them to love the outdoors, animals, and being with those they love camping.  Love you dad!  -Tiff


Here's me and my husband Kyle with my 2010 bull.  I had the most amazing experiences on this hunt.  I will remember it forever!



Here's Kyle and our boy Case this last spring Striper fishing at Lake Powell.  Grampa Troy took them along with his brothers.  Let me tell ya, this little boy will never forget this experience!



Desert bighorn sheep


 This is how sheep migrate from Utah to Arizona. He was safely secured in the trailer.


He arrived in one piece unless you count the separate base then he arrived in two pieces.


 The detail in this mount is incredible from the definition in the body all the way down to the front teeth that barely show. Every time I look at this it brings a smile to my face. Thank you Troy!


These sheep are just so majestic.

Merry Christmas Troy

Have a very merry Christmas and a great new year filled with lots of great animals to mount. I hope that this site gives you a way to share your incredible talent with others. 

Little Heavy



Ears

 Ears are formed around casts that were made by taking the ears from road kill, burning all the hair off with a blow torch and pouring plaster into them. It helps to have a few different sizes.

 Fiberglass material is heated and molded around the form

The result is an ear that is thin, strong and natural looking.

Form preparation

The prep work takes lots of concentration and it shows on Troy's face
