My problem is I don't have the patience to train anyone to help flesh and mount stuff.  Eventually it will come down to it I am sure.  It will be a few years befor I have to worry about it.  Though I will say was hoping to double what I brought in last year.  Instead I probably got 5X as much stuff.  Threw me off and now I am playing catch up.  Next year I will be better prepared.

I found this other one, this is the one I was thinking about going to!   Second Nature School of Taxidermy
@ http://www.taxidermy-school.com/

This looked like the best option in my opinion.  Hope this helped you out!  Also notice I said was thinking
about going to, just as I dont believe that taxidermy is an option for a career just for the fact that it will
take some time to get a client base and people are pinching their pennies due to the economy and taxidermy
is just not a necessity.  I would still like to do something like this however probably wouldnt spend 4500 on it! 
Good luck on your search and hope you find the answers you need!

I have heard that Second Nature School of Taxidermy is a good school.  He is a member on taxidermy.net and goes by that same name.  I have sold him capes in the past I believe or to a couple of his students, can't remember which. 

Like I said I would register on Taxidermy.net and ask them.  You have a lot more people on that site that can point you towards a good school.

I went to Missoula Valley School of Taxidermy, owned and operated by champion taxidermist Tim Wood and his wife Cristi.  Unbelievable school and had the time of my life.  Don't waste your time anywhere else
