MAY/JUNE 2021

My name is Darin Emison, owner of Emison’s Taxidermy. I have worked as a taxidermist for nearly 14 years in my hometown of Bells, Tennessee. I have always loved the outdoors and the sportsmanship of hunting and fishing. Hunting and fishing was always a family affair. I learned a lot from my brother and parents. My brother Greg and I would always bet on the first fish, the most fish and the biggest fish. We still enjoy fishing together to this day. Both of my parents are hunters and I have had the pleasure to mount deer for them both.

My passion for taxidermy comes from the desire to recreate God’s work in a way that brings His creatures back to life. By putting thought into every animal that comes through the shop, I aim at restoring it to its natural look in a way that makes the hunter proud. I believe that taxidermy does more than capture an animal’s beauty. To me, taxidermy is about preserving the moment in which the animal was harvested in a way that allows the hunter to look at their trophy and feel connected to the memory of when it was taken.
