As we all hunker down, trying to get through the bitter North Dakota cold, seeing a project like this one completed reminds us why we live here. North Dakota provides some of the best habitat for wildlife in the country. This project also reminds us that if we can make it through the bitter cold, there are three seasons worth of prime hunting and fishing waiting for us on the other side. Hang in there and stay warm! 

The latest creation from Bismarck, ND taxidermist Bryan Backer of Gone Fishin' Taxidermy and Guide Service, shows that even though you may be small, you should always put up a valiant fight to protect what's yours. The crayfish in this scene probably didn't make it but he definitely gave it all he had. This summer has been very busy with completion of several fish mounts, and more in progress. Future projects to be completed this fall include black bears and several more fish. Don't forget to bring us those awesome birds too!

This spring has been chillier, and certainly rainier than normal causing the Missouri to be very muddy and unpredictable. That said, the river still has a great many Walleye anywhere from the 14-22 inch range. The fish are here, albeit smaller ones than years past.
