Fur, Fin, Feather Challenges:
To be more inclusive for bird and fish taxidermists, we are splitting our usual Montana Challenge into the Fur, Fin, and Feather awards! Our species for the upcoming show will be reproduction grayling, life-size black bear, and full-size mallard.

​

The rules for these awards are identical to the Montana Challenge criteria: "This is an animal that lives in Montana. It is drawn from a hat each year at the meet and greet for the following year's show. The highest score wins each division pays half the entry fee pot to the winner. To compete in competitors' awards and best all-around, you must enter the mounts in the professional or master division, whatever division you are in for that particular category ."​​​​​ Read more about the rules here.
