Cole Young with his recent Breakthrough Award
About Us

7 Years of Experience. Multiple Show Awards. One Passion.

Cole Young has been an outdoorsman his entire life. Self-taught for his first three years, he later trained under world champion Wes Mote and rose from Amateur to Masters in just two years. From his shop in Greenwood, NY, he now teaches the same techniques that have earned him top honors at the New York and New England Taxidermy shows.

  • Award-Winning Craftsmanship

    Cole is a recent winner of the prestigious New England Breakthrough Award. He has also taken home Best Professional Small Mammals, Best Professional Deer Shoulder Mount, Best of Show, and the Taxidermists' Choice Award for Best Whitetail.

  • Anatomical Accuracy

    The animal should look alive. That obsession with anatomical correctness is what you'll learn to achieve in class.

  • For Any Level, Any Goal

    Young's classes are built to meet you where you are and take you as far as you want to go.
