briant_az Report post Posted August 5, 2019 Just curious if any members have ever gone to the classes at Arizona Taxidermy Training in Show Low. I plan on going to some of the classes but its expensive and would really like to make sure that it's worth the cost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted August 5, 2019 I know a few people who have done it. I was not impressed with their skills after taking the class. I think you would be much better off to find a local taxidermist who would be willing to show you how over a reasonable time frame. You cannot learn how to properly mount an animal in a week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjl2010 Report post Posted August 5, 2019 Probably a few Star Valley guys on the forum that can show you how to properly mount an animal. 3 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't agree more, that's the only reason that I am second guessing the class. I would like to learn from someone local, but its hard to do with a full time job and two little ones at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Browns Report post Posted August 5, 2019 I personally would love to learn how to work on my own animals! My taxidermist of 20 years has moved away. I haven't found anyone I like so it would be a great time to learn how to do it myself. If anyone is local and willing to teach I would be VERY interested!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
