Superb taxidermy and beautiful, artistic composition is a hallmark of the mammal taxidermy of Jason Snowberger. At the 2001 World Championships®, this red fox was part of his entries that earned him the $2,000.00 Competitors' Award. (His coyote cubs won Best Professional Entry and another $2,000.00.) At the year's NTA convention, this piece won North American Champion, first place in the Division of Excellence, third place in the Challenge of the Art competition, the Van Dyke Award, and the Roger Martin Award. Snowberger is from Duncansville, Pennsylvania.
