A self taught taxidermist he mounted wildlife for over 10 years including the famous "Big Medicine" albino buffalo and the "Desert Bighorn" for the Death Valley Museum. Scriver returned to sculpting at the age of 42. His love of nature, knowledge of anatomy, an ability to compose music, and his years of close association with the Blackfeet had indispensable influences on his life as an artist.
Bob Scriver was awarded gold and silver medals for excellence in sculpture by both the Cowboy Artist of America and the National Academy.
