Thank you very much for spending some time with Roughrider Gamebirds Wildlife Studio. I  sure hope you enjoyed my work.

I have been hunting birds in my home state of North Dakota for since I was old enough to hold a gun.   For me, birds are not just a hobby, but a passion. I am fortunate enough to have some of the finest bird hunting in the world right in my own back yard. Chances are, if you're a serious bird hunter, you.'ve visited the Roughrider state.

I started dabbling in bird taxidermy at an early age. My poor mother was afraid to look in her own freezer because of what "dead thing" she might find next! Now that I'm a little older, I've decided to put my extensive knowledge and love of birds to use.  The fact that I'm an such an avid hunter, helps me truly understand what you, the sportsman really wants!

Taxidermy helps me relive those special autumn days in the field with family and friends. My goal is to help preserve a special memory for you with roughridergamebirds.com.  A special thanks to Jim Benson who took the time to help develope me into the bird taxidermist that I am today!

                                  My greatest creation yet!

Today I live in Grand Forks, North Dakota with my wife Mindi, my pride and joy "Hunter" who's my son, and our two bird hunters... Abby & Bridget. I sincerely hope that I get the opportunity to create a special piece for you.

Regards,

Rick Acker
