Worth every penny for the work the amount of tedious work it takes to complete mount
Thanks for understanding.
So the only real parts are the cap of the skull with the antlers and the skin? Wao such an amazing job. Taxidermist are artists.
did you expect that the insides would be real too?
@@zajagter2888 😈 YES!!!
Lol
Taxidermy does not have the insides because then it would smell bad
@@Bob-gl7lz ofc
Hello Guys; I had a nine pointer mounted about 15 years ago by a local taxidermist. He did an excellent job and its still in great shape. I have seen about a 100 bad mounts in my time which is unfortunate, so if and when you score something nice do your homework and you'll be happy you did. I enjoyed watching this man do his artwork and preserving a beautiful animal for all to enjoy.
Thank you very much
So this guys does a whole mount in 10 minutes but it takes me 10 months to get mine back😂
Takes me 3 years
Just went to get mine mounted yesterday that I killed and he said it would be a year an three weeks
The reason that it might take so long is because they might have a lot of people to work on and also the tanning process takes a really long time but we’re I live they are doing a new tanning process and he said my deer will be back in 45 days so I have like 40 more days left.
if its anything like my shop there are 300 people in front of you...
Hahahahhaha
Awesome video. It sure makes a guy appreciate the work involved. Thanks for sharing!
This was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!!! Great job!!!
Thanks.
That's the dream buck right there
It is for a lot of people.
Wow I always wanted to watch exactly how these were done, when I was little my dad said they “stuffed them” I actually thought they was like a stuffed animal when I was little
Just watched this from the tree stand! Nice mount!
A buck just walked behind u at 60 yds
Haha I did actually see a nice one about :20 minutes later but it was about 80 yards 😆
Hope you had a good day there 😄
Beautiful. The same deer from the woods.
Excellent workmanship
Thanks.
oh man this is amazing!!!! i just work on my own first mount this past Friday!!!!!
Glad it helped.
i think its dumb how this man spends hours/ day to do this and he only gets 1,000 likes he should have over 1 million
Thanks.
Beautiful job. Awesome to see the process
Thx
Mmm Hmm
Love watching your videos great teaching you really have talent I have a question what do you think about the pan pastels for finishing deer heads I've been looking at a different way to finish the deer heads.?
Thanks Paul.... I LOVE panpastels .. I use them on all my birds,, have also used a lot on mammals too.. and now Im using them a lot more and more on my mammals too.. there are some areas that needs to be done with airbrush.. but many cases pan pastel works just great...
Nice job beautiful and nice quality work well done
Thank you.
Could you please do a Fallow deer video ? Please like a wall ped or custom pose ? man Id love to apprentice with you so bad . Just amazing
Thanks Dean … the videos of the mounts I produce depends on the animal my clients bring in … now if you would ask for a Camel , I’d say yes I have done one 😁 seriously and the video is in my channel. But I haven’t yet received a fallow deer.
Awesome job , beautifully done ✅
Thank you.
Good job, couple of questions/comments. 1) why using ear insert? Never have, only bondo. Insert found to split end of ears over time. 2) noticed no cardboard strips to hold the skin tight in the impressions, when skin dries, these areas pull away from the form (glue will not prevent). 3) seems like thin thread to see the back of neck, what you using. I use much heavier 4) did you use a high flex wire around the antler base. Starting out found thread never keeps from shrinking away over years. Remember, making mount to last a lifetime, not 2-3 yrs. just some curious observations,, know we all don’t do things the same.
I do bondo ears on ears thats hard to find or build the earliners for. I havent had even one issue of the earliners splitting the ear skin. I think if you glue them properly they will hold really well, it depends on your tan job too, so the skin shrinks the least. The Cardboards and pins have been used but didnt film it... I use 20 lbs fishing line. it holds any kind of skin.
@@ArtofTaxidermy interesting on the fishing line, I will try this. It seems would be much easier than using wire. The ears I think are a personal preference like many practices. As for pinning and cards, was really curious how you managed to keep the skin tight to the form. Thanks for the reply, appreciate the knowledge.
Ive always used clay to do the ears with good results. How bout you.
Hi Ben, I really like the way you work 👍👍👍
Thanks. There are more videos to watch. Just check out my playlists on my channel.
Great work. Shame with the corona. It's killing the business.among other things. Prices of.materials have risen . Forms, .... customers aren't as plentiful anymore. Nobody wants to pay high dollar. 15 years ago I did a DVD on fleshing a deer hide n thinning it in under 40 mins with the bench grinder .wire wheel and stone wheel. For me it was a cost saver, time saver because the price of a fleshing machine was and is still outrageous. I used my alternative and still turned out nice hides but besides the point. Keep up the great work.
as long as you dont create to much heat....if you put it in the pickle first you should be fine, but you still need to thin the hide...
I hear you and I agree.
What kind of hide paste do you use. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Enjoyed your video.
I used dextrine and Elmer’s glue mix in this video but today I only use Roman 555
Learned some new tips! Thanks for this video!
Glad to hear that. There are a lot more to watch and learn. 👌👍
Belliissima obra!!!parabéns!!
Good job, great mount!
Thanks.
Great work
This is awesome!! Great work!
Thanks a lot!
سلام . بسیار عالی . دست خوش. احسان کلاری از شمال ایران .همسایه و دوست پدر گرامی
ارادتمندم استاد کلاری. ذکر خیر شما بود با پدرم چند روز پیش.
Excellent job ...
Thank you.
Is it possible to take off smaller horns, and put bigger horns on? Nice JOB!!!
Sure you can.
In my opinion it looks better when the ears are laid back like he is getting ready to fight
Gotta pay attention to the clients preference too.
Is the hide still wet when it's put on, that way it'll shrink into place when it dries completely pulling all the little wrinkles out? Great work, this is a dying art for sure
Yeah the Hide is wet and pliable, when it dries it gets glued to the form.. and actually taxidermy is growing like crazy among people these days. I dont think its dying at all.
hello dear friend, greetings from Mexico, i'm a big fan of you and your job, your channel worth gold. Congratulations. in my state is totally impossible buy ready-made models of any kind of animal for taxidermy projects, so I handle the fabrication of it by myself, Could you tell me what material the ear inserts are made of? plese and very thanks, you are so helpfull
Hi Eduardo
Thanks for your message. The ear liners I buy are made of plastic , and it’s a factory made mass produced type of a product. If you can’t buy them then I’d suggest you to learn the Bondo Method. I will put together a video in that regard next time I’m doing a big game. In the very old days I have also built them from wire mesh and tape. It works fairly well.
Thanks for watching.
@@ArtofTaxidermy thanks for your reply, i will look forward to that video. have a nice day master
very nice job
What form did you use and what was the AB measurement for that Deer? Thanks, nice mount.
Hi James… if I remember right I used one of McKenzie forms, and I never asked or found out about the score on that deer.
Very nice !!
Thanks.
What do you use for the facial feature clay that allows such long working times? I have mounted a handful of deer but I use apoxy sculpt and I have like 15 minutes to set the face. Also, what is your hide paste? Again I have used white glue with dextrin but I see a lot of guys using this orangey stuff. Thanks!
Im using regular clay, or critter clay, and they give me a lot longer drying time.. I woudnt use apoxy sculpt for that purpose, its too hard and wont allow any adjustment afterward.. and the glue Im using is actually yellow Dextine mixed with white glue, but Roman 555 is much better.
@@ArtofTaxidermy thank you so much for your quick response!
Really beautiful work! My question is in the beginning of the video it looks like you are using super glue around the ears and eyes is that to repair small holes?
Thanks. Yea thats what I’m doing. Repairing small holes.
@@ArtofTaxidermy Thank you i aspire to be that good at whitetail taxidermy someday.
@@frankkoyt5719 You will be even better... just keep working on it.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good looking piece!!!
VERY NICE WORKMANSHIP, this from a fellow taxidermist. Who's form would this be? I like it a lot. Nice big Sask. shouders

The stretching of the cape, there's not an issue with the sewing/stitches? Stretching will not pull the stitches through the hide or pull the seam apart?
Not if you do the stitches nice and tight.
What are you spraying on the hide? What do you suggest using as maintenance on mounts
Thats some extra thinned tanning oil
Very nice Ben!
So how do you match the skull size with that of the harvested deer because obviously like people not all deers facial structure and shape are all identical
They take measurements of the deer before and then create that yellow/white template to match the hide.
@@qahiu1033 ok that makes sense. Thanks for the answer
They sell all kind of different sizes of forms.
This was posted on my birthday lol
Your birthday is 6 days after mine
@@Trentk_2715 Nice
Happy belated birthday.
@@ArtofTaxidermy thank you ! Lol
After tanning is the hide put on the mount wet to keep it flexable or wats the way you do that
Yup. the skin has to be worked on and applied while its still wet and pliable.. so you can move and taxi it to where its supposed to be, then it dries like that.
واقعا دمت گرم دکتر👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍
I have noticed pretty nice deer racks n pretty small deer heads. Will the heads shrink during tanning and mounting?
bigal25938 not as far as I know.
Nice work..
Excellent mount 👏
Thanks.
I’m a 14 year old kid I have a lot of interest in taxidermy. I’ve started doing European mounts. How do I get into doing shoulder mounts or how do I learn ?
Find a mentor. Best possible way
@@Sharp26 thanks.
@@Pmoffitt lmao. I’m dumb, so ig go to google. I literally am like the exact same as you. 14 and getting into taxidermy.
Watch videos for free and practice, .. or you can attend a class wherever they offer it, in your local area.
So cool!
Thanks.
Amazing JOb !!!
Thx
Georgious How do you do it? What's the secret to your magic?
No secret. Just practice. 😄
@@ArtofTaxidermy How taught you deer hunting and mounting?
@@jasmineowens4741 I dont hunt big game or deer.. once in a while I do some bird hunting.
So they use pre-made molds for everything?
Yes
Or at least for all the common animals.
I soooooo want that deer head😮😮😮
Very good
Thanks
ALEX great job ?
5:24 the deer looks chubby 😂
Don’t diss my homey like that
I see a lot of birds in the background that are protected. How are you able to have them?
They are all found dead and permitted.
How? It’s illegal just to possess them because of the Migratory Bird Act, which I’m sure you already know. It’s felony.
@@theebigda every country has a different law about them. IN canada you can possess them if they have been found dead (accidentally killed). in the States its a no no...In Europe I heard you can sell the mounts, in Canada you cant.. so its all different.
I just shot a 172 inch deer yesterday no cap
Right on.
what the body is made of, what mass or material
The forms are made out of Polyurethane foam.
Gorgeousness. ♥️♥️💘💘
Thx
What kind of glue are you using for your earliners?
on this one Im using thinned down Bondo.
5:47 lol that poor deer 🦌 😆😂😆 🦌
What courses do you take to do this? I want to become a taxidermist badly
I didnt take any course, but there are courses available.. you can search online
Mckensie's has a selection of videos. Its how I got started.
What was the paste you used to cover the skull plate?
It is paper mache
How many hours did I just watch to get to end?
8 hrs
What glue do you use when patching holes?
crazy glue
@@ArtofTaxidermy I've never heard of it, haha, maybe not available in Australia. Thanks for your reply.
@@trappermario40 "Crazy glue" = super glue = CA glue(CyanoAcrylate)
Side note...when you glue your fingers together (instantly!)...acetone is your friend!
It takes me about 18 to 20 hours per deer
Then why is it taking my taxidermis 2 years
@@jasonkelley5014 I did some work for a taxidermist and most of the time we are booked 1-2 year in advance. So I might only take 20hr to do a deer but they might not be able to get to it for a couple of years.
hello, I am a new to this so please dont judge when I ask this but when someone kills a deer, why cant they just cut by the shoulders and keep it like that, why does it have to be taxidermy?
@@Anonymous-wt4lx because the meat inside will rot
@@jasonkelley5014 ohhhh makes sense, now I think about it I'm dumb for not thinking about that 🤣🤣
how many hours does a mount like that take?
this video was about 9 hours in real time. but again the caping, fleshing, shaving part of the work was not even in the video. I try to keep the boring parts out.
So, if you did include all of the boring parts, what would be the total amount of time on that deer?
I could do that
How can I make one of those hide stretcher
if you ask your local metal fabricator/welder and if they see it, they can copy it.. thats what I did.
I’m a twin but my father had killed a black bear 20 years ago and he sent it to a local taxidermist and he wanted the arms reaching out and after 6 months it was done for $1,000 the arms were down and it stunk from having a bad tan job likely done by himself but he was disappointed so I killed one 3 years ago along with my twin he has a 1/2 mound bear and mine was a big full body done great a job done longer like a year is when you can trust the job is done right like the deer was
Класс
I want to be one
trophy
U guys amd your levels lol
No kiddin 😃
Only human beings will spend thousands of dollars to kill, then more again to pretend the animal is alive so he can boast of his great hunting skills. Such hypocrisy.
This is not diminishing the craftsmanship involved.
Well that’s a very interesting point of view.. also we need to keep in mind that: the first pile of money that hunters spend to harvest an animal is the reason we still have animals. All that money goes toward conservation of the same game. The second pile of money is not to pretend it’s the animal is alive , but is to keep the memory and excitement alive for years to come. The money generated by Hunting industry is the only way to conserve the wildlife since no government is willing to pay anything to wildlife conservation. That’s why they call it sustainable.
Whys the deer look so sad.
probably because I didnt mount the rest of its body :)
