In Ohio, learn the art of taxidermy at local schools or online.
Taxidermists provide a service that allows hunting and fishing enthusiasts to display realistic trophies of their accomplishments. According to Taxidermy.net, the term taxidermy describes the many methods of "reproducing a lifelike, three-dimensional representation of an animal for permanent display." In many instances, taxidermists use actual parts of the animal such as the fur, feathers or scales. Sometimes, they work exclusively with man-made materials.
