Last evening, I was fortunate enough to be asked by a local 4-H group to come speak about taxidermy. Now you might be thinking why 4-H be interested in taxidermy? Well, they are introducing a new project to our county called Hunting Skills, how cool?! I was able to go teach to a wonderful group about my passion. After I spoke about what I do and tips on how to make taxidermists' jobs easier with proper field care, we did a fish painting project with blow pens! Anyone who doesn’t know what blow pens are, they essentially are manual air brushes. 👄💨 It was quite comical to watch!
I had a great time; thank you all for having me!
