Is there any books or videos that show you how to skin animals to be mounted? I would like to try and mount deer, turkey, fish, & waterfowl. I know there are serval ways to cape or skin an animal, but I would like to know the best way. Any help would be appreciated.

little indian ; go to some of the web sites mentioned above and they will tell you how to do each animal.
there are several different ways on different animals.

Another option would be to go to taxidermy school. You can learn a ton in 6 weeks and then you'll know how to do most anything.........Just something to think about.
