Is there anyone here based in belfast or has a car and has access easily enough to belfast as I don't have a car, often in a position involving skinning and working with animals willing or able to teach me.
Books and that might explain things well enough, but I am the sort of person who learns from experience much better.

To you intend to remove the skin for Taxidermy reason's or for the table,i've worked with fox,rabbit,deer & wildfowl,game, mostly any experience i have i've learn from other's,ie how to remove the organ's,i've a friend who does taxidermy & has told me about open work-shops & meetings in the Belfast area,if you like i could ask about it for you?

In reference to the skins for me it's a leather working side of things, making rawhide, brain tanning and bark tanning that sort of thing. I don't have much interest in the taxidermy side of things so I am not sure these types of workshop would do me any good.
