Got my card yesterday, I'm the lone wolf way out west! But I plan on being there in June.

Sorry I'm not going to be at this one either! Unfortunately the meeting dates always fall on a day that I have unchangable plans, this time I will be in Lincoln for my daughter's state gymnastics meet.

  Thanks for the plug hope to see you all there

[earnhardtgw3]

Just a reminder for the seminar, bring note books or cameras. Also if you need raffle tickets I will have Scott bring some for you. Just PM me on how many you want and I will have them there.

Is this open only to members or is it open to the public .
I know someone who may be interested but he's not a member .... yet .

[WeaponX]

Membership is only $30, cheap at half price for the info, now having to pay $150 for the gas to drive there is another story !

[earnhardtgw3]

Yea the gas cost is going to hurt BUT the education will take some of the sting out of it.

Seminar is open to current members only. Our seminars are a incentive to join our association, we try to have minimum 2-3 a year. The small membership fee gets you in my opinion 100X's worth in education.

[Bill . S]

Where can I get the requirements to be able to do taxidermy in Nebraska ?
I lived there my whole life until a few years back and I'm considering moving back and would like to be able to do some work .
I cant seem to get any straight answers out of anyone in Lincoln .
Thanks in advance  for any help .

[d ball]

Still very cheap at $30.00 for membership and however much you spend on gas to what you would pay to go to spend time at someones shop.  Mike is a fine taxidermist and does lots of African pieces and for a beginner or someone thats been in the business for awhile im sure there is much to learn.

[earnhardtgw3]

Bill S.  In Nebraska to be a liscensed taxidermist all you need is to pay a $8.00 fee to the state. Pay the fee and BAM you can do taxidermy. Now in our good ole state of Nebraska we have man many rules as a taxidermist we must follow. The game and parks require you to know all the rules and regulations as a liscensed taxidermist but CAN NOT provide you any book to show you what they are.

[Bill . S]

Thanks for the info , I'll contact the Game & Parks to see if I can get the scoop on the rules .

[Riverdale Taxidermy]

So whose going to be there?? Are your mounts done? I am a little nervous already.

Riverdale, I still haven't decided, finishing a deer to take if I do and I might try a coyote, construction season has been slow starting, so not sure if the finances are in order. But I probably will decide this weekend to bite the bullet and see what its all about.
