Scott has lived
in Bismarck, North Dakota since May of 1992 and grew
up hunting and fishing in South Dakota around the Pierre
area. Scott developed his love for the outdoor’s
from his grandfather Willie Combs. Grandpa Willie started
taking Scott hunting and fishing at an early age and
the hunting passion grew with each year. Scott’s
passion for the outdoors has him traveling to other
areas of the country just to encounter a new outdoor
experience. Whether it's caribou in Alaska or antelope
in Montana, or Bear hunting in Canada, bow hunting is
his passion. Scott has harvested well over 60 animals
with his bow of which 12 are P&Y animals. Each experience
brings new challenges and he always tries to learn from
his experiences.
Scott’s other passion is the art of taxidermy. At
the age of eight Scott mounted a raccoon shoulder mount.
His mother did not allow it in the house very long due
to the strong odor coming from his room but it was the
start of a dream to become a taxidermist. In 1992 when
he moved to Bismarck he met Brian Kadrmas a local taxidermist
who he eventually worked for and learned from.
In November of 1993 Scott accepted a job with the Bureau
of Reclamation as a Natural Resource Specialist but continued
working for Brian Kadrmas part-time. Scott continued to
practice and eventually became a 3-time North Dakota State
champion in the Whitetail game head division.
In the off season Scott enjoys traveling and camping with his family, shooting
his bow, shed hunting, and of course doing taxidermy. Scott has a beautiful family
his wife Teresa, a daughter (6), and a son (2). His daughter has already been
on two bow hunts with dad.
