Antlered Arrow Taxidermy

Preserve your wild side...

Let me share a little bit about myself and the history of my business. I originally wanted to start my own business due to my heavy hunting schedule. While I'm blaming it on my unrepressed hunting lifestyle, let's face it...I wasn't born to work for others. I wanted to be able to hunt alot, yet still make a living. If I could make a living in the hunting world, then even better! Not only do I run a business that breathes hunting, but my whole life encompasses hunting. I wouldn't be happy without it. I work hard, so I can hunt just as hard.

I love the crazy life, full of unpredictable possibilities that are just as crazy. I want wild. Even living in society day to day, taxidermy gives me that taste of the wild, until I can join the mountains again. I know what I was made for, and that wasn't to conform to society.

The Passion Behind the Business

Melissa Backer

Owner

Hey guys! For those who don't know me, I am a diehard backcountry hunter, who has an immense love for our public lands, and our wildlife. I've always found myself restless, always yearning to be where I'm not. Only finding that peaceful belonging in the mountains I wander. This is where I belong. If I can't always be in the wild, then I'm bringing it back to civilization with me. That's exactly what I've done with my business. I preserve the wild in my work, and I hope when you take your mount home with you, you can feel the wild too.

We're always looking for the next rustic piece of wood or antler in the hills together. Our eyes are always out for something special that I can throw into a customer's Mount.

She keeps the hunt interesting.
