Diggers Taxidermy: Taxidermist In Harrisburg South Dakota

This listing appears in a firearms directory context, but Diggers Taxidermy is a taxidermy service, not an FFL dealer or firearms business. While the source content lists it as an FFL dealer type, the actual business operates exclusively as a professional taxidermist.

Derick Wenck, owner and 2005 graduate of South Dakota State University with a degree in fine arts (sculpture and painting emphasis), runs Diggers Taxidermy from Harrisburg. He holds state and federal licenses and grew up on a game farm—giving him solid knowledge of animal anatomy. He's also an avid angler and hunter.

• •Fish: Per-inch pricing for fresh mounts, skin mounts, replicas, and 360 mounts. $340 minimum

"Because my name is attached to each piece, I want your mount to be of the highest quality. I take great pride in the work I do and my reputation."

Wenck processes mounts in the order received and gives equal attention to new and repeat customers. He's an active member of the South Dakota State Taxidermy Association and competes in the masters division with his fish. The philosophy is straightforward: it's not about the biggest rack or heaviest animal—it's about preserving the memory.
