I just returned form the South Carolina Association of Taxidermists Competition held in Camden, SC on March 7th and 8th. I entered 2 drake wood ducks and I’m happy to report that things went very well! The wood duck on the nesting box received a 2nd place ribbon and the other duck received a 1st place ribbon and the award for Best of Category in the Professional Bird Division! The bird also won the Judge’s Choice Best Professional Mount Award and the Ducks Unlimited Best Professional Waterfowl Award! Fuel has been added to the fire, and I can’t wait to start working on my next competition pieces!
