Class Overview:
We offer hands-on lessons for mounting your own lifesize (full-body) taxidermy mount, including raccoon, fox, or coyote. After signing up, students can email us to coordinate a time and date for their class.
Each lesson includes all necessary materials, such as:
- Professionally tanned skin
- Anatomically correct foam mannequin
- Glass eyes, ear liners, and other mounting supplies
At the end of the class, students will leave with their own finished taxidermy mount, ready to display.
