Jerry Huffaker of Abilene, Texas, has established himself as a top contender in any competition he enters. With a world title in gameheads in 2015, his next quest just might be for a title in large lifesize mammals at the next World Taxidermy Championships. This ibex won Best Master Division Lifesize Mammal at the 2016 Texas Taxidermy Association meeting held in Lubbock, Texas, this summer. This issue’s Gallery features a few more of the major award winners from that show. The winner of the Texas Breakthrough Award for Judges’ Choice Best of Show will be featured in our winter issue.
