Monteith Taxidermy


Ungulates and Us

Below are some pictures of our research that we have been fortunate enough to be involved in during our years as wildlife technicians and graduate research assistants.  Much of our research has been with captive deer in South Dakota and mule deer in the Sierra Nevada in California, among a few other research efforts across the midwest and western US.  Enjoy!

“Babes do not tremble when they are shown a golf ball, but I should not like to own the boy whose hair does not lift his hat when he sees his first deer. We are dealing, therefore, with something that lies very deep.”
1949 Aldo Leopold
