Our Six Week Full Taxidermy Course is offered 3 times per year, and our Economy Courses are offered twice per year. (See dates above.) Please call before sending in your deposit and enrollment application, to make sure there are openings in the class you wish to attend.

Winter Course: Many students ask what Montana winters are like. Rest assured, Montana is not the frigid icland that some folks imagine it to be. We are located west of the continental divide, where the winters are milder. Yes, it can be cold and snowy but in over 20 years of teaching we have never once had to cancel or delay a day of class due to weather. We are located on a school bus route, so roads are maintained very regularly. If you would like to attend our Winter Course, our only suggestion is that you allow an extra day for your drive to Montana, in case you run into weather delays on your way out. Our Winter Course is great for those with seasonal jobs, who may be able to take a few week off during that time of year. Winter is also the perfect time to get your taxidermy training in, as you will have plenty of time before hunting season to get your business up and running once you get home. And while you're here you can enjoy lower housing rates, as well as ice fishing, show shoeing, & daily views of spectacular snow-capped mountains!

Spring Course: Spring in Montana is a wonderful time to enjoy the fresh pine scented air, and rushing streams from winter snow-melt. Weather becomes milder, and spring bear & turkey hunting is in full swing. If you would like to combine your schooling with some springtime hunting, please visit http://fwp.mt.gov/hunting/, then click on "Seasons" and "Licenses & Permits' for information on exact dates and license fees/deadlines.

Summer Course: For those of you considering our summer course, please try to decide as early as possible. Once you enroll, you will need to arrange your housing right away. Because of our annual Huckleberry Festival every summer, tourists flock to our little community and motels book up quickly. If you cannot find housing at any of the listed motels, please let us know and we will assist you! Summer is a wonderful time to visit Montana. Days are long (it stays light till past 10 pm), so you will have plenty of time after class for hiking, fishing, and sightseeing.
