There are 5 classes offered ot Saul Taxidermy & Tannery. They are deer shoulder mounts, waterfowl and upland birds, turkeys, fish, and life-size animals. You can schedule most of these classes around your work schedule.
Books and videos help but the 1 on 1 classes are needed to learn how to properly mount wildlife. The large taxidermy schools may have 20 or more students in each class and you don't get the attention and guidance like you
do on a 1 on 1 class. All classes will be taught by an Ohio 1st place award winning taxidermist . All mounts completed during the class are the students to keep for their showroom.
The deer shoulder mount class you will mount 3 whitetail or mule deer shoulder mounts, do an antler mount, and deer feet. You will learn skinning, fleshing, salting, tanning, tanning, stitching, mounting, and finish work.
