RE: Taxidermy Schools
It might sound nostalgic to go out west to go to a taxidermy school, but I would care more about the education that I recieved and the amount of money that it cost to attend then where it was located.
After all you are going to be there to learn, not to sight see.
You can stay in Punxsutawney for 6 weeks for what it costs to stay in Montana for 2 weeks.
I would go and look at the school - before I plunked down my hard earned cash on something sight unseen.
