Royal Mountain Taxidermy

My name is Dave Porter and I am writing this review so that if anyone is thinking about becoming a taxidermist this may provide so insight in your decision. I have been an instructor for the past ten years and have taught students ranging from ages 20yrs to 60yrs of age. I have taken many classes which incorporated many ways of teaching as well as what aids ( i.e audio,visual etc ) to help reach the student.

During the time period in which I was being taught/trained by Royal Crawford, I was absolutely amazed at his use of instructional aids (DVD, cellphone use for recording) and his willingness to allow you to use video ( if you wanted ).

But the most amazing thing I experienced was how he taught me the art of taxidermy, he was extremely patient, knowledgable ( in both taxidermy and the financial side of taxidermy as well ).

His business experience was above reproach and well respected. He is very passionate in what he does and he is not afraid to try something new.

One thing he would always say is " don't stop learning, if you stop you'll never get better." From what I saw, he proved to me that he is not afraid to learn.

It was both my honor and privilege to be trained by someone who truly respects the art of taxidermy.

To whom ever is thinking of considering taxidermy, please get in contact with Royal Crawford via Royal Mountain Taxidermy and he will give you my number.

With deep respect, Thank you Dave Porter
