Meet The Instructors
Jason Delue
(Owner / Instructor)
As an avid hunter and fisherman, I wanted to find a career in the outdoors. So I finally realized that I wanted to be a taxidermist. At that time, there were no taxidermy schools in Oklahoma. I found myself at Missouri Taxidermy Institute, I completed the program and quickly began my taxidermy career. Today my wife and I run a very successful taxidermy shop. In fact, it became one of the largest taxidermy shops in NE Oklahoma. In my years of competing, I've won several awards such as:
People's Choice
Van Dykes Award McKenzie Award
Wood Guy Award
Several Best Whitetail Awards
Two-Time Best Game Head Awards
Eight-Time State Champion Two-Time Best in Show
Two-Time State Mounting Contest Champion Two-Time Mini-Competition Champion
Best Mammal Award
I am currently working on my master's certification. We have designed our school for one-on-one classes so the students will get the attention they deserve. We truly hope that you will embark on a fun-filled learning experience with us at Adventure Bound School of Taxidermy. We look forward to meeting and teaching you all that we know.
