I will have to agree on Big John. I went back this March and I'm very happy with where my deer are. He is an excellent teacher.

Hey Russ and Michael I really appreciate those Nice Comments.  Anyway, I am attaching a couple of photo's here and this is what you can expect to do here in my Shop.  This is no BULL but very SERIOUS work.....  These were just a few of the many graduates that attended my school last year.  The first one was Rob Waltour from Ga.  The last photo is of Whitetail 94 "Michael" from Louisiana.   Keep up the GREAT work guys.   I really appreciate your business. 

Also, if anyone else out there is interested in taking his work to the next level just give us a call.  We will work with you and your schedule.  Many Thanks.

I also want to wish everyone a "Very Happy New Year's"....

Best,

John Griffith

Thanks for the posts I have checked out both schools and I was wondering more about the Meder school I'm from Wisconsin and IA is alot closer than KY I have looked into john's school but I think the travel is the problem I have to still get the work done in my shop.

I can honestly say that Joe Meder runs an Excellent Training program for Whitetails.  I enjoyed it very much when I attended his school many years ago and I did learn quite a bit there.  What I really enjoyed at Joes place was mingling with his many live deer.  You won't go wrong by attending Joes school and I can honestly say his school is based on quality training and many reference's alive and otherwise.  Hope this helps. 

Joe's Best Student,

John Griffith

Jacobson, if you truly are interested in doing what it takes to be a top knotched whitetail taxidermist, both John and Joe are excellent choices. Dont let distance be a factor, though. It might be difficult as far as planning that distance to travel, but once done, youll be so glad you did. You wont want to kick yourself later for not "going the distance".

Once again Bill is neglecting to tell people about his teaching...tisk tisk Billy.  I spent a week with Yox in 2004 and loved it.  It was a one on one environment, no other students but me and could work as long as I wanted to (and believe me we had looooooooong days while i was there).  I know that when people ask about workshops the two names that bounce to the top here are Joe and John (I've met Joe, he's a great person and incredibly helpful, never met John yet but from what everyone is saying that would be a good choice as well)  I figured since I'm "pro Yox"  LOL i would give my .02
