​

When news broke last week of Bass Pro Shops' acquisition of its main rival, Cabela's (NYSE: CAB), the latter's stock price sat at about $55. By the end of trading last Monday, the price had jumped 15 percent to $63.13.
​

The megadeal between two goliaths of the outdoor-retail industry will result in one giant company operating 184 stores. Bass Pro also owns White River Marine Group, a boat retailer responsible for such brands as Tracker Boats, Sun Tracker, Nitro, Tahoe, Regency, Mako, Ranger, Triton and Stratos.

Award-winning Topeka taxidermist finds niche

5/7/2014

Published in the April 6 edition of the Topeka Capital-Journal.
PictureAn award-winning black bear mount by Topekan Joe Wayner.
A monster buck resting peacefully in a meadow. A plump tom gobbling thunderously from its roost. A playful otter frolicking in a creek.

For taxidermists like Joe Wayner, the complicated process is more than just a hobby or a job. It’s an artform, and these are the moments he is trying to capture in time.

Wayner, 25, is still relatively young in the world of taxidermy — where steady, experienced hands often work wonders on lifeless carcasses to recreate these action-packed scenes as a sort of memento of the hunt. Despite his age, however, the Topeka resident and Washburn graduate has been honing his craft for more than 10 years and even owns his own business, Misty Waters Taxidermy.

“Well, my dad used to bring home pheasants and all that all the time,” said Wayner, who began learning about taxidermy when he was 14. “I thought they were pretty, so I thought, ‘Man, I ought to be able to do something with this.’ So basically, I started reading books and trying to figure it out. Just a lot of trial and error.”

After teaching himself some of the basics, Wayner took his tutelage to the next level by learning from a neighbor who had more than two decades of experience in the taxidermy profession.

“When I was in middle school, I went and learned from Larry Longhofer — a local taxidermist down the street from me — and he taught me how to do a fish and a bird, and it took off from there,” Wayner said.

Longhofer, a retired teacher, coach and school administrator, was introduced to the art of taxidermy in a similar do-it-yourself fashion as his pupil.
