Young taxidermist Carrell Bennett builds wax forms in Ottawa area shop

At 22, Carrell Bennett runs a taxidermy business in the Country Antiques building near Ottawa. He learned the craft via home study at 14 or 18, ships skins to a tannery after salting and drying, and mounts over molded forms after final prep. He notes hunters should discuss trophy plans before departure for game.
