Plus buy all the WASCO, Breakthrough books, those will get you started. But once you start taking work for customers kiss your free time to hunt and fish GOOD-BY.


A Good Way to Get Started

I think a good way to get started is just the way i did. Just ask someone who knows how. When i was 16 i killed a turkey and had it mounted. I was interested and want to know how it was done. So i Asked my taxidermist if he would teach me. Now im 21 and have lots of fun doing it and allso make a little money. Ofcoarse, i spent a lot of time learning and didn't get paid but he didnt charg to teach me. i think most small-time taxidermist would not mind teaching someone else, in tern u are actually giveing them a little help.
