1997 National Champion Gameheads at the NTA Convention

On June 28, 1997, John T. Griffith of Waldorf, Maryland won the coveted North American Champion title with this beautiful sika deer at the National Taxidermists Association convention and competition in Buffalo, New York. Mounted on Jim Brandenburg's SKD115 sika deer mannikin manufactured by WASCO, John also used our Polytranspar Airbrush paints to complete the mount. From start to finish, WASCO products are the Choice of Champions!
