Here is a look at the new Bemidji shop nearing completion, sent from Sarah.
Niswi and I are getting a lot of dirt work done and getting lots of grass and rye planted around the new shop. The bemidji location is coming along.
Walking the trails, building forts, tapping maple trees, chasing squirrels, hunting deer and turkeys. ![]()
The smiles, the screams, the laughter. I hear and see them all. Great memories made. ![]()

We haven't been posting a lot on Facebook as of late, we have just been grinding. Lots of things getting done around here. ![]()
We are on schedule to have all the deer done by Labor day or at least put together. There may be a small handful that need finish work after that.![]()
We are in the process of building a new shop in the bemidji area but are still working out of the Detroit lakes studio. ![]()
Please be patient it's been an interesting year. If you end up wanting to drop something off please message or text me. I do have a hunt scheduled in September. So freeze things ASAP if you can't get a hold of me right away.![]()
Thanks for all the loyal customers.
Lots of stuff gonna be getting done around here. Please pick your critter up ASAP. ![]()
Thanks
Just a heads up every one. We are moving locations, this may affect our turnaround time slightly. We have always worked hard to get things done within that 10 months. We will be building a new shop in the bemidji area. We'll make it convenient for the local loyal customers here in Detroit Lakes with monthly drop offs and pickups. Or you can always make the drive up north to the new shop. The plan is to close the end of June. And I will be without an efficient shop for a month or two so please be patient. If you get a call that your critter is done please come promptly. I want to keep shop clean of lingering items. Thanks for all the loyalty. Looking forward to continuing the work for all the local clients. We'll make it work.

If you need to drop off at the shop Sarah Linn will be around and caping deer .
Important notice! For all of my cold spring/Richmond clients I will be making a run to Richmond next week. Depending on weather and chaos up here it will be Monday or Tuesday. Please message me, so I can put you on the list. I don't want to miss anyone. 320 333-1476![]()
Thanks![]()
Please share!
If your cape is outside in the rain, it's getting ruined. If it's inside where it is warm and not frozen it's rotting. Get them in here so they can get fleshed and salted, and you can have a mount to be proud of.
An incredible start to the gun season. The entire team here at Artistic Taxidermy has worked hard the last 3 1/2 days to make sure all deer are caped, fleshed and salted. Thanks to Sarah Linn Luke Jensen and all of the Linn kids for chipping in.
Lots of clients asking about a Richmond area pickup. As of now it's looking like next week Tuesday at the dollar general in Richmond. The exact time I will nail down next week but my guess would be late morning to around noon. Thanks
Text my cell 320 333-1476 the sooner we get those capes off and salted the better the mount. 😉 Time, heat and moisture are what affects the the hair follicles causing slippage.
Employee of the month! Autumn Rain has taken over the bear grooming responsibilities in the shop and has done a fantastic job. Each bear leaves with the scent as if it was fresh out of the shower. Shampooed and conditioner.

Just a heads up we will no longer be taking anymore bear in. If you have a bear and you want something done with it, contact me. We have gotten swamped lately and in order for us to keep that reasonable turnaround time we have to draw a line at some point. ![]()
This is just regarding bear.![]()
Bring on the elk, moose, deer, and antelope.
I've gotten several messages for things needing to get dropped off. With the second client being successful yesterday, I am in route home. It's been a great week!
I'm still currently out in Idaho guiding, be back early next week. If you have something urgent, get a hold of Sarah Linn.
FYI...I will be hard to get a hold of for the next week.![]()
Better get a hold of Sarah Linn if you need to get in the shop.😉
With ND archery deer opening up and MN bear we have gotten a lot of messages with people wanting to drop off critters.![]()
With that in mind, we require half down at a minimum.![]()
If you don't have the 💵 for half down, better bag it and freeze it. ![]()
I repeat we require a minimum of half down at drop off.![]()
Cash , check, or Venmo
