Digger’s Taxidermy 500 Rosewood Dr. 605-881-8474 diggers taxidermy.com Kcnew6@hotmail.com Owner: Derick Wenck Business Hours: By appointment only How many employees do you have?: 1 When was your business established?: I started Diggers Taxidermy in 2005 just after I graduated from SDSU with a fine arts degree. What are three key points you want people to know about your business?: When customers bring something to my shop, I take on each piece as if it’s my own. My goal as a taxidermist is to give the customer a great quality mount in a reasonable time. In the end your mount will be beautiful, and you will be satisfied. Happy hunting and fishing and remember, if it’s a trophy to you, that’s all that matters. It isn’t always about being the largest antlered animal or the biggest fish, it’s about preserving the memory you may have spent with a loved one, or just the satisfaction of ending a difficult hunt with a hard earned animal. I also have my state and federal license. What are some areas of specialty?: Being a board member of the South Dakota State Taxidermy association that has lead me into competing with my taxidermy work. Last year I won in the SD professional division with a walleye that I mounted. Now this year, I will be competing in the masters division and going to the World Taxidermy Competition. Since I have started competing with my taxidermy work, I have found myself pushing to be better every year.
