Taxidermy Course Set to Begin Oct. 12 at Randolph Community College in Asheboro

If you are an avid hunter and always dreamed of mounting your own specimens or are looking for a part-time job or retirement income, you can learn professional taxidermy from qualified instructors through Randolph Community College's Continuing Education Division. RCC will offer a Taxidermy: Small Game class beginning Oct. 12 on the Asheboro Campus. This class is one component of a four-part training program for students wishing to become professional taxidermists.

The program covers small game (fall), large game (winter), birds (spring), and fish (summer). However, courses can be taken individually. Students will be advised about the acquisition of taxidermy tools. Students must provide their own legally obtained specimens specific to the season.

The Small Game class will meet from 6-10 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, Oct. 12 through December 16. Registration fee is $180. For more information or to register, call 336-633-0268 in Asheboro or 336-862-7980 in Archdale.
