Is there any of you experts or novices in the North Georgia Area willing to let me watch you work one day or for a few hours. I wish I could afford to take a formal class. I've seen a few videos and read some books from the library but I just don't feel comfortable and would like watch someone work on a fish or deer.
Thanks,
Jason

In what part of N. GA are you located? Try contacting the Georgia Taxidermists Assn. from the link on the first page of this site.
I live in Dahlonega which is about 50 miles north of Atlanta.
Thanks,

Hey Jason,
Purchase a John Rinehart skinning and tanning video and professional mounting video. He shows you step by step. Thats how I got started and have won some competitions with my deer heads. Rinehart has a website. GOOD LUCK!
email me...
Check the Dahlonega phone book to see if Dean Gooch still lives in the Dahlonega area. He was in a similar situation as you years ago when I lived in Gainesville. He may be able to help you. Hope this helps, however, please don't do like another Gainesville person/taxidermist who came to my shop and talked with me one day and went into business proclaiming that I had taught him everything I knew......not so!
