I hope someone can help with my problem. I am an environmental science/ agriculture high school teacher. One of my favorite units is taxidermy and I was unable to get enough squirrels for my students to stuff this year. I have 24 students and need 12 more squirrels. I am will ing to pay for them and all shipping if someone can get them for me!

You would make my wildlife class very happy!

Please let me know through email-- erilarse@mail.ocontofalls.k12.wi.us

Thanks!

Eric

I saw a Science teacher a few years back, the idiot did not have a clue on how to mount anything. He had his class convinced they were doing perfect work.

Eric, while you may do good work or you may do poor work. The later would disqualify you from teaching taxidermy. Are you competitive, going to taxidermy shows? If you are doing so then maybe you are qualified to teach, if not please look into taking your class to your state associations big annual show.

FIELD TRIP Yea!


Lighten up John.

Just because he is not a professional taxidermist does not mean anything. He may or may not know how to mount a squirrel or anything else for that matter. But it does expose some young minds to the art of taxidermy. I took a natural resource class in high school and mounted a squirrel. Although the instructor was the Ag teacher and welding teacher did not make a difference to the students. My squirrel did not turn out well but I have since come along way in taxidermy. I am consistently doing well in competitions. Some of it I can thank that teacher for helping me along.

Some of my teachers are idiots,but that doesn't stop them from teaching me stuff like math and English.That's really cool that he can teach his kids a little taxidermy.


I wish i had the option to learn

happy to help anyone who is taking the time to get people into something that i love so much, even if one of those kids takes it further than a squirrel i think that's pretty cool, and i bet he or she will be glad you were there to get them started. good work!
i have dozens of red, and greys as well.send me your info, and i'll send you a couple dozen, you pay the shipping and i don't want anything for the animals.
