About Mears Whitetail Forms

One Form At A Time.

Mears Whitetail Forms is highly regarded in the taxidermy and wildlife art industry. Their competition-grade whitetail forms are heavily utilized by taxidermists across the country seeking real-world validation.

Ben Mears has worked the taxidermy bench since the age of twelve and began sculpting his own forms in 1989. His son Cole Mears is recognized as a two-time National Champion in high-level taxidermy competition, carrying the family standard onto the national stage. To them, taxidermy is an art form, and every form is an heirloom meant to preserve a family's legacy for generations.

The Family

Heirloom forms. Family legacy.

Ben Mears began sculpting his own forms in 1989. Cole grew up at that same bench in Mantachie and now carries the work onto the national competition floor. The art they create is meant to last generations, because a mount is a family's legacy, frozen in time.
