Taxidermy Gallery tour



 Today we took a tour of an AMAZING gallery to learn more about animals and sustainable wildlife practices.  

Renowned taxidermist and certified Hunters class trainer Jim August hosted our group that made coonskin caps.  

He covered proven practices that preserve and maintain wildlife levels worldwide.  The group learned about antlers vs horns, the grand slam turkeys & bighorn sheep, and other facts.  He explained we have larger numbers in N America now than when the pilgrims began towns on the East coast of the USA.  

On display are dozens of beautiful animals from N America and Africa.  

Our host patiently listened and answered questions.  Overall it was an incredible opportunity.
