RE: Bill tell me about Freeze Drying
 

The only thing I might do freeze dried is food. LOL The smaller critters did look good. But it is the concept of it being the whole animal that turns me off. Call me a wuss if you must, but I think it is kind of weird.:D


Bill, have you heard anything about the taxidermy school in Burlington, IA? I was thinking about taking some classes their.

I suggest if you want the mount to last, spend the extra money and have it done right.

LR, is that Tom Matuska? Im not sure which one you mean. Can you give me a name?

RE: Bill tell me about Freeze Drying
 

Bill- It is called Kindred Spirits School of Taxidermy. Some gal named JoAnn runs it. Here is a link to the schools website.

Kindred Spirits

Nope, dont know about that one. I know Tom Matuska is in Spirit Lake. I know Tom, and he has an excellent reputation. I never looked into "full time" or enrollment type schools. I guess for those with the schedule or retraining money, its a good way to look. Many offer one on one classes, like three and five day seminars. Others join the state associations and sit in on seminars there.
