Discover what App Members are doing besides Reporting Roadkill!
With 560 Roadkill Art App Members it's likely there are many you do not know. It's exciting to learn what others, who stop and picking up roadkill to consume or turn into art, do on a daily basis. There are some that are in the outdoor business making jewelry and other fashion items from roadkill, taxidermist, DNR agents, even authors and writers. Here is where we introduce you to others in the app and what they are doing. We would love to know what you do too, send us a little about yourself to roadkillart@roadkillart.us
Michael Joseph Wheaton
The Great Outdoors Offers Numerous Opportunity
Outdoor enthusiast Michael Wheaton has published his first book, Misadventures with Mets, a heartfelt reflection on his childhood outdoor adventures with his best friend, Mets. Growing up in Minnesota during the 1970s and 1980s, Michael paints vivid snapshots of adolescence fishing trips, icy mishaps, boyhood mischief.
Each story captures the spirit of growing up wild and curious, where every misstep becomes a lesson and every memory is laced with warmth, laughter, and the kind of friendship that stands the test of time. It’s nostalgic, honest, and deeply familiar to anyone who spent their youth outside until the streetlights—or the mosquitoes—sent them home.
Many of you in the Roadkill Art community also have your own unforgettable outdoor adventures, the kind that deserve to be told, shared, and maybe laughed about years later. Around here, stories from the great outdoors never get old… and neither do the lessons they leave behind.
Michael’s book is currently available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, which is no small feat for a first-time author and well worth celebrating.

Stephen Cookton
Meet Roadkill Art App Member Stephen Cookton
Stephen not only reports roadkill in the Roadkill Art App, he also has created a feed for deer called AntlerCore. It's a high protein feed designed for better racks and stronger deer made with high-quality ingredients, trusted by land managers and wildlife professionals. Stephen began breaking down ingredients, studying mineral balance, protein utilization and seasonal stress on deer. Testing mineral blends through changing seasons, trail camera data, observation and harvest results. AntlerCore was born from this process. The formula produced is designed to support deer health year-round, fuel antler development, aid recovery and provide energy deer need.
Stephen believes stronger deer come from better nutrition, Whether you manage a small or large herd or feed deer during hunting season, AntlerCore is made to keep deer healthy. Visit the website: https://www.antlercore.com
Breanna Horne
From Taxidermist to an Outdoor Themed Baker
Breanna Horne, from a young age, could be found in her father’s studio creating taxidermy art, with a special focus on duck mounts. After falling in love and becoming the mother of three young children, Breanna was no longer able to participate in taxidermy during pregnancy due to the glue and other materials involved. Motherhood, however, did not slow her creativity, it simply redirected it to the kitchen. Breanna now creates phenomenal cakes, once again carving out a niche in duck-inspired and outdoor-themed designs. While she can bring any theme to life, being raised by a skilled outdoorsman and taxidermist gave her a sharp eye for realistic detail and natural settings. Her cakes reflect the same patience, precision, and artistry she once used in the studio.
Based in South Carolina, Breanna makes cakes, cookies and cupcakes for those lucky enough to live in the Lancaster, Kershaw and Camden areas. Visit her Facebook page to see what 'The Sweet Spot Bakery' is currently creating and cooking up.
