ON THE COVER by Ken Walker Alberta, Canada

This timeless portrayal of a coyote won the coveted first place in the Master of Masters Division of the 2009 World Taxidermy Championships . When it comes to the natural presentations of nature, no one does it better than the winner of this award, threetime World Champion Ken Walker. If asked to describe him, my first thought would be he loves everything about taxidermy. I could also say he loves his family, he loves people, and he loves sharing what he has learned, because those are all true. But having known Ken for over 20 years, when it comes to taxidermy and nature, very few have envisioned this unique association quite like he has. LCB
