Cassie Carter of the Habersham Central FFA Chapter in Georgia works for Trophy Taker Taxidermy during summers and after school. There, she works with mounts for clients. She washes the animal hides, dries them, and applies the preservatives to each part of the hide. After this, she’ll sew up any noticeable holes to ensure a good-looking final product. Carter said that her greatest challenge was learning to mount a deer, a process she has since perfected. She is supported by her parents, Kathy and Chris, and her FFA advisors, Amy Crump, Aaron Newton and Willie Crump. Helena Agri-Enterprises sponsor this proficiency.
She shares more with Broadcast Desk Intern, Lydia Johnson.
