2007 Wisconsin great lakes trout and salmon stamp winner.
"John Nemec Jr."says...
I look at things a little differently than probably the average guy does. Attention to detail is what I'm all about. It is what I attribute my success to and I expect nothing less from my taxidermist. I searched for a taxidermist that would meet my high standards for quite some time before I came across Marc, but I knew instantly my search was over. I have spent more time admiring my trophies than I care to admit, not because of their size, but because of the quality of Marc's work. I don't just consider him a great taxidermist, but a fellow artist, who like me strides for something neither of us will ever obtain, perfection.
Wildlife artist and owner of SECOND NATURE TAXIDERMY, Marc R. Charles has had a love affair with the great outdoors all his life.
Located in Northeastern Wisconsin along the great lakes and Green Bay, SECOND NATURE TAXIDERMY was formed in early september 1979.
SPECIALIZING IN FISH ONLY it's reputation quickly grew to be known as a producer of very high quality fish taxidermy. Since that time, Marc has mounted over 4,000 fresh and saltwater fish, including species from all corners of the globe. Giant king salmon from Alaska's Kenai river and 900 lb. marlin off the coast of Australia to Peacock bass from Venezuela and world class arctic grayling from the northwest territories.
Because of this high level of quality, Marc has mounted many notable fish including 4 "state of Wisconsin" records as well as 11 "world line class" records.
He has mounted the 2nd largest walleye ever caught in the state of Wisconsin, weighing in at 16.44 lbs. and on March 6th 1995 was commissioned by the Neville Public Museum to paint reproduction fish mounts for "the history of the great lakes" exhibit.
