Just wanted to show off some of the old books I first took an interest in Taxidermy from.  I got these from my uncle who was a taxidermist.  I think one of the first animals/birds I ever tried was a Blue Jay.  I was around 11-12 years old and a little to rebellious with my B-Bgun at the time lol.  Anyway just thought I would share, They are in poor condition now, I'm not even sure when these were printed Huh   My uncle learned from these as well.

Too cool !!! I have a few old books myself. I love to read them and see how drastically things have changed compared to today's way of doing taxidermy.

I know someone who took the J. W. Elwood course in the early 60's.

That's cool.  Those are the first taxidermy books I'd ever read also.  It was in the early 80's and I was 12 years old.  Got them from my aunt.  I liked the way they taught to shoulder mount a deer with the original skull, a 2x4 and a wrapped neck and shoulder.  I couldn't imagine doing a deer like that.  I wish I had kept my old Northwestern books.
