The Art of Taxidermy
The art of taxidermy has moved forward by jumps and bounds recently. These advances have been basically due to people bonding together to share info that used to be a heavily protected secret. In the beginning of taxidermy there were no books, dvds or colleges. The sole way an individual could learn the art of taxidermy was thru random attempt, plenty of research, and with luck a best friend ready to share the data.
Without this help in the learning stage most folks will give up on taxidermy. But as taxidermy developed in the information age, so did the provision of learning material. Today, new taxidermist can contact a number of supply companies that have fulltime taxidermists on staff to answer any and all questions. They can also call on the help of state and national associations, which are generally more than pleased to help a new taxidermist. Or just like you, they can turn to the internet. There are a number of books and videos available too.
So thanks to all the taxidermists who are prepared to share their taxidermy knowledge. I'm hoping you may remember this when anyone following in your foot steps comes to you for help.
It is our hope that this website becomes the premier source of information for the taxidermy industry. If you need any further assistance please use our contact page and we will be glad to help in any way we can.
