I don’t know how old she is , but if she’s out of school do her a favor and send her to a good taxidermy school ….. I’ll tell ya what a really good thing would be for her if she really wants to get into it - is birds - if you sent her to a good bird course / or personal school - there are some great one on one or small class schools - And if she would specialize in ducks / birds she could stay as busy as she wanted and be very successful- she wouldn’t have to be lifting and dealing with big elk and buffalo forms and heavy hides - she could work on the delicate and very detail oriented birds - with quite a bit less “manual” labor - not saying she can’t do that too - but if she would specialize in birds and get really good at it - a lot of other shops would send their work to her - a lot of them don’t do birds and she wouldn’t be competing with them . And a good bird taxidermist is hard to find around here - I get more and more calls every winter for ducks and geese , people having a hard time finding someone to do them ….. and i take them but would rather not ….. I know she could do pretty well if she would specialize in that …… Just food for thought ……. 

if you want to bring her down to Taylor some time ide be happy to show her my shop and visit with her and answer any general questions she might have ……

I went to an 8 week school in Iowa - between my “regular” college semesters at NAU one summer in 1997 I think it was ….

Big thanks!   I will suggest it to her.  She's a few credits away from her accounting degree.

I have aged.  I will go back to real hunting after this one.   I just want to win my bet.   If you see me with a 7 prc, shooting at something over a quartermile away. I am not gay, I am just experimenting.
