      Newer and younger members this is for you! Even seasoned pros you might pick up a tip or two.

      Ever shot a trophy animal and not known how to prepare it correctly, ready for the Taxidermist?

      Ever been to a skinning demo and found that place too crowded, or the speaker goes too quickly?!

      Once again we are running our Head Skinning Workshop! Callum will walk us through the process of taking out a head skin, working around eyes, ears and lips with tips and tricks that the pros use. He will demonstrate himself on several heads.

      Field care and salting of a head skin will be covered as well as a few other tips to take care of the skin until you are out of the bush.

      Space is limited- $20.00 for members only and you must register and pay via our website.

      Have you ever come across 'Prints&Shit' but didn't know what animal they belonged to? Or, how old the animal is and what direction it's heading?

      Well never fear as Mike is here and he's been collecting lots of hooves and poo, along with photos to show us what to look for when identifying an animal or how old that piece of poo is.

      Join Mike for this workshop where you will explore:

      -  Animal type, 

      - Age (size),

      - Direction,

      - Should you stay in this area with this aged poo, hair or rubbings?

      Cost for this workshop is $15. 

      A big thanks to Mike Morse for giving up his time.
