NEAT Seminar

[Todd Adams]

I just attended this seminar that N.E.A.T put on in CT today and I have to say I was impressed! A great bunch of guys and tons of information shared. 2 Whitetails were mounted and a Lifesize Bobcat. It was also nice to put some faces on some of the names I see on here, nice to meet different people. Thanks again guys I had a great time and I will see you all at the convention in June.

Todd,
    I'm glad that you enjoyed the workshop. I know that there was alot of information to try to absorb in one day and I hope that you weren't overwhelmed. It was nice to meet you and your brother Jared. It was also nice to see the famous "aggressive buck" in person. I should have posed with it and had my pic taken with it lol .

 To everyone else that attended,
     Thank you. You all are the reason that NEAT is such a great association. Our growing membership and its desire to learn and excel in the art of taxidermy is what allows us to be able to put on workshops like this one. It is also a great motivation to myself and the other officers of NEAT,
to have more, bigger and better workshops. We are already tossing around ideas for our next. If you have any ideas, let us know. I also hope you all attend the June convention. If you thought that one day was great. Just imagine a whole weekend packed with seminars by some of the most talented individuals in the field.

 To those that didn't attend,
      You missed a great time and hopefully you can attend our next workshop.

You guys make it look easy! Nice meeting you all and like Todd said good to put some faces to the people on here. Thanks again and see you in June.............John

I'd like to extend a HUGE Thank You to everyone who attended.   I had a great time.  On behalf of the entire NEAT Board and veteran membership, I just want to say WELCOME! to the numerous new NEAT members that we are fortunate to have on our membership list now.  Like Scott said, your support, participation and enthusiasm is what makes the NEAT such a great organization. 

We look forward to seeing all of you in June for an entire weekend of friendship, fun and taxidermy!!!

Hello everyone.. I to want to extend my thanks for the great and informative time I had at the N.E.A.T seminar also. You always see people post, "go to a seminar."  WOW are they right!! The things I've picked up this year alone have boosted my confidence alot.
      These are EXACTLY the type of seminars to attend, what a fantastic bunch of people.. It's hard to get some of the more up to date techniques, but this is the type of place to go to learn JUST THAT. I know my brother and I can't wait to go to the convention in June. We both plan onentering pieces into the show to be judged Should be fun..
       Fred,Steve,Ryan and Matt, incredible jobs on your pieces and great teachers. Scott, It was also nice to meet you, and like Todd said, to actually put the online names with there faces. LMAO about getting your pic taking with the "aggressive buck."
       What a great organization, I would strongly suggest to anyone wanting to learn taxidermy To join an organization, there's limitless knowledge to be gained. Fred, also wanted to comment on how well behaved and patient your son is. With that kind of patience he's sure to make an incredible taxidermist Thank you, Jared

[Steve Hackett]
