Issue 136 Winter 2020

ON THE COVER: Clint Rickey

This issue cover features the mount that won the 2019 Best in World Whitetail for the very talented taxidermist Clint Rickey from Dodgeville, Wisconson. Clint’s proven abilities over the last several years have made him a very popular attraction as a judge and seminar instructor. Clint also captured a Third in World with a open-mouth bison at the 2019 WTC. There is no doubt that we will all see much more from Clint in 2020 and years to follow.
