We have the Use Permits, required by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, to operate legally throughout most of the state of Utah.
We operate on three ranches that equal over 150,000 acres of Private Land under Utah's Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit Program. This allows us longer, more liberal seasons, and guarantees Mule Deer and Elk tags in some high quality trophy areas. In addition we have exclusive Cougar and Bear hunting rights on several hundred thousand acres.

Promoting a positive image of hunters and portraying them as responsible citizens who fund wildlife conservation, education and other programs which benefit the community.
The Elk Foundation is an international, mission based, nonprofit wildlife habitat conservation organization. With more than 150,000 members, the Elk Foundation has protected and enhanced more than 4.3 million acres of wildlife habitat throughout North America. Founded in 1984, the Elk Foundation is headquartered in Missoula, Montana with Canadian headquarters in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
The Elk Foundation is represented in all 50 states, plus an international membership in Canada and 26 foreign countries. The Elk Foundation's notable success stems largely from its dedicated and enthusiastic membership, particularly the Foundation's local volunteer committee members who organize annual fundraising Big Game Banquets in their communities. Other forms of fundraising include the Habitat Partnership Program; Supporting, Sponsor and Life memberships; the annual convention; and merchandise and royalty programs. The commitment to wildlife conservation and love of America's rich wildlife legacy are at the heart of what the founders of the Elk Foundation glimpsed upon establishing the organization.
The art of taxidermy has given us a way to fully express our passion for wildlife from ensuring that the piece were working on has an authentic, realistic appearance, to making sure it is in a setting true to its surroundings.
Now an award winning taxidermist, our involvement with the New Mexico Taxidermy Association has earned me an honored position as the Northwest Director. We are privileged to work with a great team of taxidermists. Our goal is to promote high standards in the art of taxidermy and to strive to produce high quality work as well as to foster an understanding in the general public about the field of taxidermy.
Our goal here at Mountain Legends Taxidermy, is much the same - "To bring life and expression into every mounted piece complimenting the true legends that each piece truly is" My philosophy is simple – "Good things can and will happen as long as I surround myself with a talented staff, good ideas and great products and treat people well."
