Victory Wildlife Artistry In Casper Shares Tips For After The Hunt

The thrill of the hunt is ON in Wyoming.

Hunters are out searching for meat for their family's freezer, and some will soon have a new piece of wall art. Sure, some hunters are out to find a record breaker, and an animal that is worthy of being placed on the wall of their living room, man-cave, she-shed, basement, or hunting cabin.

For the next few months, hunters will be sneaking through the woods, navigating sagebrush, and climbing mountains, all while trying to outsmart critters throughout the state. Hopefully, they've already considered what they're going to do when they catch up to the animal they've been chasing.

If you're taking the animal to a taxidermist to have it made into a memory that will be part of your family for years to come, you need to know the best way to handle the animal when you get it on the ground.

Kaycee Vollmar from Victory Wildlife Artistry has been thriving in creating incredible works of art, which are hanging on the walls of hunters, pet lovers, and outdoor enthusiasts all over.

Kaycee and I have become good friends over the last few years, and if I have questions about wildlife artistry, I call her up and chat. She was nice enough to sit down and visit for an upcoming episode of Wyoming Hookin' & Huntin' Outdoors. During our conversation, we discussed the best practices for what to do when your animal has been harvested.

Kaycee is a Wyoming girl who, after high school, attended college to study meat processing and worked in the industry in Iowa until she discovered a new dream. That new dream, taxidermy, brought her home to Wyoming, and Victory Wildlife Artistry began.

Her new career began in 2022, and since then, Kaycee has created a wide range of designs featuring various animals. From your typical Wyoming Elk, Moose, Bear, Mountain Lion, and Deer to a variety of animals from all over the world.

On the Victory Wildlife Artistry social media pages, Kaycee has information on the best ways to skin your animal, depending on the type of mount that you want for your animal. If you're a hunter, you probably use the same process to skin your animal year after year; if you've never skinned one that you're going to have turned into wildlife art, you may need to adjust.

The time, talent, and dedication that a taxidermist like Kaycee puts into every animal are incredible. If you'd like to discuss your future hunts and find out more about Kaycee and Victory Wildlife Artistry, check out the Facebook or Instagram pages dedicated to her work.
