Testimonials

“I was fortunate enough to take the full Mirabile Taxidermy course with Tom. I couldn’t be happier with what I learned and am still learning from him. I was confident enough from what I learned to start my own business right out of the course. What’s great is even though I’m finished with his course he is still willing to help, guide or answer my many questions! I would highly recommend his course or even individual classes if you’re looking to learn from a master taxidermist!”
