The test is the biggest pile of baloney in taxidermy. Once the test is taken, who makes sure all your customer mounts are up to standard? The customers, of course. No need for tests. Ive judged around the country and taught taxidermy as well. I still say its not needed. Theres so many talented taxidermists in PA and everywhere. Look at their work, and talk to their customers.

To answer the question, though...get ahold of Paul Czarnecki, he will be able to help you with any changes as they happen. Hes a taxidermist and one of the officers of your state taxidermy association. Good luck this season.
