There is a site called taxidermy.net. Go there and go to the forums, look around. Then find the orange button, labeled search, type in taxidermy for a living or something along that line. There is definitely a living to be made, but... forget hunting, fishing, etc. Hunting is during "the busy times", fishing is during "catching up time". I do it part time, work full time. Trying to build up a business. I don't want to do it full time. I enjoy it too much. But there are a lot of taxidermists that do it full time. I went to a community college and it was the best money I ever spent. Also if you're serious, join your state association. You'll get contacts that you'll never get without. Just my 2 cents
