I heard a rumor yesterday that our own Dennis Harris (The Artistry of Wildlife in MI) won one of the major awards with a Lioness fighting a Zebra (lifesize). This morning a friend sent me pics and it is an amazing mount. Stands something like 14 feet tall (they are suspended in air). Whatever Dennis won, congratulations on a remarkable piece of art. I wish I could post the pics but I must get permission first.

Thanks very much to all of you . It was a dream come true to win "Best in the World" Jerry it was Jamie Outman my lead Finsher, and one of my most experienced Amish helpers Daniel Bontrager, the best sewing and prep man I have EVER seen in this business and myself. We are only as good as the people we surround ourselves with, they make us what we are. | ||

  I'm not a taxidermist, and don't play one on TV, but that "Best in the World" don't really leave a lot of room for improvement... We really need a "standing ovation" gremlin. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

Dennis, that picture with Randall Waits standing in background with that "duh" look is simply priceless. I'll make SURE he sees it. LMAO You already know how I feel about that mount. The bar will forever be set with Dennis' name on it for "flying animals". If Dennis will post his armature that started this piece, you'll simply not believe any of it. His welder deserved a medal as well. RETIRED Taxidermist | |||

Thought I would update this post with this years entries by Dennis; the Bongo pair and Moose/Wolf. These were entered in the Mixed Mammals category. Dennis has a Facebook page: The Artistry of Wildlife for anyone wanting to see how they put the Moose/Wolf mount together. Amazing work in the field of Taxidermy and Dennis is one of the few I've ever known that will share secrets with others.
