MTA History
The Michigan Taxidermist
Association was formed in 1983. The common goals of the founding members
were:
1) Promote high
quality in the art of taxidermy
2) Educate the general
public about taxidermy and related professions
3) Assist members
and the general public in their understanding and the applications of the
state and federal fish and game laws
4) Aid in the conservation
of natural resources for the future generations to enjoy.
Since the founding
of the MTA, our membership has continued to grow and strive until the present
date. The membership of the MTA consists of 25% of the states licensed
taxidermists, making the MTA a powerful group within Michigan. The MTA
works closely with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources with regards
to laws governing the taxidermy in the state.
Through our yearly
convention and competitions, our members have continually improved their
skills and techniques. Our annual convention and competition is one of
the biggest state based competitions in the nation. We draw elite judges
and suppliers from all over the nation and provide our membership with
outstanding opportunities to learn and develop their art.
