Welcome: I hope everyone is getting opportunities to enjoy wildlife and nature. There are so many balances of life mother nature nurtures and to preserve life even in death is what a taxidermist strives for. I started taxidermy when I signed up for an elective in high school called taxidermy. Well as interesting as it seemed at the time I didn't have the guts to continue. After a couple fish, a handful of ducks and a few mammals I set the hobby aside for some time. I have re-kindled my desire and interest for the trade when a friend and fellow taxidermist, Mike and Kim West at http://www.artful-nature.com , showed me a few things and insight to an enormous amount of details. So, If you call me or e mail me i'm glad to visit with you and you can stop by and take a look.
