If you are looking in the North Woods.... Vermillion Community college (Ely,MN) has a very good taxi program. I am in some of the classes and I have a few friends in the major as well.

RE: Taxidermy Schools
There is a guy here that is the Number 1 taxidermist in the world for Turkeys and has won many otherawards for his elk and whitetail deer..
His name is Marc Jordan and he mounted about 15 or so animals for my family members and guys at camp. All were pleased.
He started his own school - at his shop and teaches a class a couple of times a year.
To become a taxidermist in Pennsylvania - you have to take a test and do a certain amount of work and it has to be approved by the PGC - Pennsylvania Game Commission.

If you are sinceer about wanting to become a taxidermist - you would give him a call.

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.

If you are willing to go to Wisconsin you should really go to American Institute of Taxidermy. I went there and was very pleased. I enjoyed my classes very much. If you are interested the website for the school is www.americantaxidermy.com.

The work I've seen from the students of Second Nature is really good. I can only assume from the quality of the student work, that it is a good school. Here are 24 pages of student pictures. Decide for yourself...http://www.taxidermy.net/forum/index...ic,2141.0.html
