Garry’s work was so creative and life like that he was known as one of the best taxidermist in the area. In 1988, Garry went to his first competition and received two first place ribbons, one for a fish and one for a game head.

With every piece of work over the years, Garry has truly enjoyed taking an idea and turning it into a colorful, balanced piece of artwork that can bring back those special memories and stir up the emotion and love for the outdoors.ple as a piece of driftwood or small rock base to sit on a table or mantle. A wooden square to octagonal free standing base, natural or painted, can be used to display your fish. We’ve even used furniture type pedestals to display fish.
