I have decided I want to become a Taxidermist. I was wondering if any experienced Taxidermists could let me know what tools are the most helpful in the trade that I need to get before I start. I was wanting to do competition style mounts with lots of detail. I am very good at art and am a perfectionist. I feel taxidermy would be a great hobby to engage in until I get my name out there and can actually bring in some cash. I realize I can't just start making 30k a year off the bat and may not ever make that much but around here we need a good Taxidermist. The best we've got did my first deer and right away I knew something was wrong with it. The ears are set too low, the inside of the nose is black, eye shape is all wrong... I hate it to be honest. Everyone else thinks it looks great but I can tell its not right... Like I said that's the best Taxidermist in this county. Also how would you guys feel about a girl doing your mount? I work on cars alot and cannot get a job around here because Apparently shop owners still think a woman's place is in the kitchen... Any advice and info will be appreciated, i even welcome constructive criticism. Thanks guys!
