The Hunt Comes First
Because Some Hunts Deserve More Than a Photograph.

Meet Zak
The taxidermist and feather artist.
Zak’s work is rooted in a lifelong connection to hunting and the outdoors. He approaches every bird as both a hunter and an artist—studying its natural form, respecting what it represents, and building each finished piece to preserve the story behind it.
From premium waterfowl mounts to original feather artwork, every TRUEWILD creation is completed with his hands, his eye for detail, and his name behind it.
