No, I am not affiliated with Taxidermy Tube in any way. My suggestion was " Taxidermy Training Unlimited", for which I am also not affiliated but many National and World Class taxidermists are. Besides, many qualified taxidermists still use video lessons to refresh themselves on animals that they don't have much experience in doing. Nothing wrong at all in going to taxidermy school or learning from someone else, but at some point, you are going to get a speciman that you have very little to no experience with.Schools do not teach you how to mount every species of animal that you may receive, nor does any experienced taxidermist have knowledge of every animal and how to mount it. That is where the videos can help alot. All professions have some sort of reference that they can use to brush up their knowledge with. Same goes with testing. Just because you can pass a test doesn't make you a GOOD taxidermist. The test is not concerned with your quality of work, just your knowledge of certain species and laws concerning them.You may pass the test, but still put out crappy work.I have seen it first hand. Like I said before, If someone, regardless of how they may learn, opens a taxidermy shop and has customers who are happy with the work they get from them, then IMO, that taxidermist has a successful shop. You or I may not like the work that they are putting out, but it's our choice whether to take an animal to them or not. Some folks will and that's their choice. If they are happy with the results, what else matters?
