If you really have a good taxidermist that will let you work around his shop and just help when he needs some help or even let you hang around and sweep the floor you should take advantage of it! You would be amazed what you could pick up just watching as you help around the shop. The payment for your help will be what you learn from the experience. Also check around your area for someone that is willing to give you a few short classes for a reasonable fee. One last thing, join your states Taxidermy Association and attend their meetings.
