How many years was you in business before your taxidermy business really took off? Our first year we took in 3 deer, 2nd year 4 deer, 3 year 7 deer, 4th year 7 deer, 5th year 12 deer, 6th and 7th year 16 deer. We are in a small town and we don’t really advertise other then Facebook and word of mouth from our customers. Curious as to how long it has taken others to build a full time taxidermy business. And what has been y’all’s most successful advertisement? We dream of the year we break the 50 deer mark More>>>>>>>
