    FOUNDER

    Allen’s accomplishments with whitetail deer are unequaled by anyone in the state of Texas. He is the only taxidermist to date to win the North American Champion award for the best whitetail deer shoulder mount at the National Taxidermist Association convention and competition. That same year he also won North American Champion for an axis deer, putting him in an elite group of individuals to ever win two championships at one show. He has also won numerous state titles and best of shows. He has been called on to judge and give seminars at other state and national competitions over the years. At the Texas Trophy Hunters Association Taxidermy Competition, Allen won first place in Houston, San Antonio, & Fort Worth, capturing the all around championship for both life size and shoulder mount whitetails.

    Allen and his wife Dena, have 2 sons and 7 grandchildren. They enjoy serving in their church, traveling and spending time with their family.
