Learn more about Kenneth Kinville and his full-time taxidermy business.
I have been a taxidermist for more than 30 years. After I earned my associate’s degree, I continued college and studied taxidermy. To stay current, I take courses from master taxidermists every year so I can learn new techniques and ideas. I’ve always lived in New York, and I enjoy hunting and fishing in my free time.
Even though I have experience working with many different species, I enjoy working on birds and deer heads the most. It makes me most proud when I can re-create a memory for a customer so they can remember it forever.
