Duga BoyAny thoughts on schools
I have seen that there are a lot of schools teaching Taxidermy. If you have had a good or bad experiace with one would you share it. I would hate to waist money or time as would we all.

george roofBrian, I'd suggest you save both and ignore the advertisements. "There's more than one way to skin a cat" likely had its start in taxidermy. But if you pay to attend a school, you can bet the guy running it won't show you any more than one: HIS. You're money ahead to get DVD's and videos and start with the simplest of creatures that are easily obtainable and replaceable. Thousands of us learned through a comic book like correspondence course during the 50's and 60's. Few of us use those exact methods, but the basics are still valid today as they were 50 years ago.
