Title: It's Official!!!!!!!! (Willow Creek Taxidermy)
Post by: WCTaxidermy on October 11, 2012, 02:40:42 PM: After spending the last 3 years in training with me in the shop, my daughter Alyssa is now a full time bird Taxidermist for Willow Creek Taxidermy! During her training, she has mounted over 100 birds and even managed to pick up 2 awards at the Oregon Taxidermy Association Competition this year, which she has no problem reminding me of. :chuckle:

I wanted to introduce her to all of you and she has told me that she plans on showing her work here on the forums. I'm very proud of her and she will be a great addition to the business.....John

Post by: BLKBEARKLR on October 12, 2012, 10:32:11 AM: John,

After talking to you today for a while I could hear how excited you were about Alyssa, makes you proud to know that the talent your baby girl has it being put out to all who will enjoy her work for the years to come.

And since she is pretty much working three times faster than you, you should just take a couple of weeks off and come over to Upstate New York and get some Canadians and Snow geese, they are like ticks around here.

Tell Alyssa to keep reminding you about the awards she won since they are the top two levels you can win.

Joe

Alyssa

P.S. thanks Joe ;-)

Met with him today Dale. I'm going to do up a full strut displaying pose for him. I think that will be a cool mount. John
