Taxidermist and owner of Heagy Taxidermy, Winstin Heagy has been an avid hunter throughout his life.  Growing up in rural Crawford County, he was exposed to many aspects of wildlife.  Throughout his High School career, he also completed a Tech School certification in Machining, but he then realized it was not his calling.  He wanted to be doing something that he enjoyed, how could he spend more of his time around hunting and wildlife?  Taxidermy. 

         Winstin began his Taxidermy journey by applying to go to school at Western Pennsylvania School of Taxidermy.   He was accepted and started making plans to attend the eight-week program located in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.  The program prepared Winstin in many ways, teaching him how to properly mount and detail animals as well as numerous skills to truly bring an animal to life.

         After completing his schooling, Winstin returned to Crawford County where he began construction on a shop to open his own business.  Opening in the Fall of 2020, he began receiving work almost immediately and is now proud to have six years of experience in the Taxidermy Business. 

         Winstin Heagy is the person to take your prized wildlife to because he is someone who will appreciate them just as much as you do and is sure to do his absolute best on your trophies.

I never thought I’d have the chance to do this, thank you to everyone who was with me or involved in my hunts this year to complete this! You know who you are and thank you again! It was a great hunting year, it had plenty of ups and downs but being persistent pays off and you can’t quit when it doesn’t work out.
