I never said anything about just opening up shop and starting everything from scratch. I wanted to know what everybody else recommends as the best way to learn. It's just like getting started in any profession you wouldn't even attempt to start making money until you know what you're doing. I'm trying to gain the knowledge of the art of taxidermy before I try to make money. But it's a field that I would like to get into and I'm trying to get input on different ways to get started. Sorry if you misunderstood the post but I'm not saying that I'm just going to hang a sign on the garage for a taxidermy service. Also when I do finally learn what I'm doing I will use the power of that thing called advertisement. I'm not trying to just halfway do anything here because that's not how I was brought up. You have to learn to fly the plane before you take off, and I want input on how to learn taxidermy before I try anything. Just asking for input on getting started and learning. Thanks for the comments.
