Meet The Artist

Owner and Taxidermy Artist Bob Mead has been a hunter and fisherman since a young age.  His father taught him the importance and responsibility of being an outdoorsman as a youngster growing up in the Rocky
Mountains, and his love of the outdoors has continued to this day.

He began his taxidermy career in 1988 in Laredo, Texas, then moved the business to Deming, New Mexico in 1997.  He has been competing in state and national taxidermy competitions since 1990, and has been a
seminar instructor, New Mexico Taxidermy Association Board member, and competition participant since that time.

Some of his more noteworthy accomplishments

"Being recognized by my peers with awards and ribbons is a very satisfying achievement, but mounting trophies for a demanding clientele is the real reason I do taxidermy work.  My name goes on every mount that leaves this studio, and as our client, you will be completely satisfied with your trophy.  That is my word to you."
