The decision to become a taxidermist has been a long journey for me. There are a lot of schools out there and I spent 2 years checking them out and trying to find one that best offered what I was looking for.

I met Caleb May and his family at a sports show and saw a guy that had strong family values and a lot of knowledge and experience. His ability to communicate with students and explain why certain methods are necessary is crucial to understanding this great form of art. While attending this class a student will learn that you are only limited by your imagination and not the teachings of the instructor. This is what I feel separates this school form the rest. Caleb has years of experience and isn't afraid to share it with his students. He also has the ability to listen to the ideas of his students and encourage you to be creative.

It has been a great experience attending this school and I feel it has a lot to offer anyone that wants to be a taxidermist either for a living or as a hobby.

Good luck! - Ron Hawkins (taxidermist)
