Buisness skills, new techniques, lasting friendship

These conversations often lead to lasting friendships, creating a supportive community for future collaborations and problem-solving.

The convention offers you the chance to gain invaluable knowledge from master taxidermists with years of experience. With 6-8 seminars hosted at each event, you'll have the opportunity to learn from industry experts, expanding your expertise and enhancing your taxidermy skills.

What we are all about.
The Ohio Taxidermist Association (OTA) is a non-profit committed to supporting our community and wildlife conservation. We’ve mastered the ins and outs of taxidermy and aim to share our knowledge with those who believe “great” isn’t enough. Our mission is to help you exceed your goals and push the boundaries of excellence in ways others may not even imagine.
​
Our competitors don’t just receive high marks—they’ve earned them with their creative, two-dimensional ideas brought to life. The talent showcased at our convention is evident in every detail, from the frost-covered mushrooms to the glistening nose of a black bear. Our seminars are both challenging and fascinating, testing your patience, but that’s what it means to go above and beyond. These free seminars are available at our annual conventions.
