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.

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.
