Hi all, I'm new to this forum and my name is Nina. I'm 15 and enjoy deer hunting with my dad. I've been doing taxidermy for about two years now, mounted a few small mammals and about 10 deer shoulder mounts. Just two weeks ago I went to my first taxidermy competition nd convention in Altoona, PA and it was a great experience. I got to meet many of my friends off of the taxidermy.net forums, and even met three master taxidermists, Frank Newmeyer, Fred Vanderburg and Brian Harness. In Brian's seminar on mounting a fox, he asked for a volunteer to work beside him and I got to mount a gray fox pedestal with him. It was fun.

I tried to post pics from the show, but I can't. It won't let me copy and paste, or use the image button on here. [:'(]
