Each time the World Taxidermy Championships are held, the quality of taxidermy in the Masters Division is unbelievable! This beautiful whitetail entry from 1999 by Scott Brewer of Spokane, Washington, was one of the 6 highest scoring whitetail entries, earning consideration for a world title. This mount placed first in the whitetail category for long-hair, closed-mouth deer, with a score of 93.5. There is nothing more exciting in the world of taxidermy than witnessing the World Show program and its world-class competition.
