I have been doing simple euro mounts for the last several years, but ultimately wanting to tackle full taxidermy work. I've always been too intimidated to try, but after watching your full series of videos...this is my year to start!! Love the videos, very informative, attention to detail, and putting everything in basic terms. Thanks!
Go for it. It is easier than skulls. You will love it
I'm there with ya....done quite a few skulls...about 4 years ago a dropped about 1100 bucks on a stand...and all the tools I needed to start mounting deer. I lost interest for awhile but I think it's time lol I need to get a pickle an tan method down so I don't have to send out hides. Goodluck !
Good video. Thank for making this video in finishing up the mounted deer video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with your subscribers.
Looks great! Im really liking your technique.
Awesome video! Last year I went to a Taxidermy School in Florida, and while it was a great school and I learned a lot, you make it so much simpler. Cant wait to try your methods !
Thanks!!
Dude you are awesome! Your videos help so much. Thank you for sharing and being so real about it all.
Thank you!
Great job! Looks good
Fantastic video ! love your ( KISS ) system , I look at other videos but keep coming back to yours you make me feel that even a rookie like me has a chance at doing this ! thanks again keep them coming .
Most folks focus too much on perfection rather than repetition early on, and taxidermy is definitely a hands on learning experience to get it right. In my opinion, the mistakes you make trying to learn teach you how to repair problems that you run into later. I think that's why a lot of taxidermists say there is only one way to do something because they were taught to deal with perfection rather than a disaster and a disaster is what you get sometimes hahaha
@@thecedarridgechronicles I've been a bird and fish taxidermist for 20 years and you are right. Most people want a simple solid mount, Of course they also want it dirt cheap.
PS : really find it helpful when you share tools, products and where to buy !
I bought an air compressor at harbor freight for $60 that you can set the pressure on it. It works very well and I do lots of airbrushing, I mount lots of fish. Your advice of the equipment that's "good enough" is excellent advice. Here's a little airbrush advice for you... After you clean your airbrush, toss the left over wash thinner from the airbrush cup back into the paint bottle. Also there is a new airbrush on the market... Airbrush and compressor all in one... Battery operated, cost is $40 all in. When my compressor goes out I'll be buying one.
One badass series my friend!!! Thanks for the all time you put into sharing your trade, with us!! Love your style and mounts! Sub for life 🏹🦌🎣
Thank you!
Excellent thank you so much.
awesome job thanks
Great job thank you. I just do it as hobby, but I never used an airbrush. Now I will.
It makes the process easier for sure
Appreciate your help. I’m starting up in Northwest Ga
Good luck!
Watched your finishing video again to review the colors you used.
Can you make a tanning video on a deer from start to finish prior to mounting. Thanks so much for sharing. Keep your videos coming. I truely enjoy watching them
Yessir
great video sir
Great video!!!
Thank you!
I learned with Lacquer based paints, and we mixed everything.. This seems so much easier. thank you.
Yeah, but this way needs touched up if u just brush it. Taxidermist need to remember these mounts will have to be dusted and brushed by customers over ownership. People get pissed when they run a comb through and all the paint comes off with it.
I don’t know a single person who has ever taken their deer head down and combed them. Ever.
I bought a battery operated airbrush that's rechargeable. No more noise and I can airbrush while my wife sleeps. 😊 You also don't need the hoses or anything like that. The actual air compressor part screws onto just about any air gun.
$30 Amazon, it's sold as a "beauty airbrush system"
That is actually a great idea! I’m going to look into that
You make me wanna try this I need to find a school near me. Thank you
Amigo!!! I really like watching you work on your deers very much just order my first 2 manikins buck and doe :) and I’m so ready to go hunt and get my first deer so I can start working on it 😅 hopefully I can get good someday :)
Thank you! Good luck!
@@thecedarridgechronicles thank you my friend!!! Hopefully you can make a short video of how will be great time to pickle after the cape has been on the freezer :) I will like to learn as much I can from you!!!

Nice work son!!!
Thank you!
Take it from a fish taxidermist, you do a great job in your airbrushing. You are very good on advice of equipment $$$$$.
Thank you!
Great video! Have you ever tried using glossy mod podge and a tooth pick to add the wet bumps on the nose?
Yes that's what I used to use before I swapped to the nose tool
Another deer finished...time to get Paid! Nice work
You should do a video start to finish on using Dan Reinharts tanning cream without pickle
Just gave you a sub. And man, you do an amazing job. I’d love to see how / where you got a form stand…
Thank you!!

I like ur methods n the way u jus use simple technic, wat n wer do u get ur mounts
McKenzie taxidermy supply
Can you show a system to mount deer heads to paneld
Is that some velvet left on that one antler or is it hair growing on it? I never seen that before. It matches the red hair on the crest of the head as well, that's what makes me wonder if it's actually hair.
Really nice work too! I enjoyed watching.
It is actually shredded cedar where he was rubbing
Wow I’m glad I came across your Chanel
Tha ks for watching! Hope you can find something helpful
@@thecedarridgechronicles it is! Quick question how many years can you have a deer head in the freezer before it’s to late to mount.
I've mounted some that were 2 years old with very little freezer burn, but it depends on how they are put up. Most don't last much longer than that
@@thecedarridgechronicles Yeah this one’s been in there about six years Lol. Good practice I guess
And it might surprise you. The more fat and meat that is left on it, the more moisture it will retain and will last longer
Where do you buy your flesh color paint from, can’t seem to find it. I found your channel and I love it, had to subscribe to it to learn new tips hacks and techniques. Thanks you

There is a link in the description of this video
Hey man we're to you get your polltransport flesh color paint I have looked everywhere I have all the paints except that one
McKenzie taxidermy supply sells it. I believe it is opaque or semi opaque flesh
Love your channel!! What brand is the sand color you are using? Haven't been able to find sand. Also what color black and brown are you using for your mix for the nose and eyes
Check out this page from thecedarridgechronicles www.amazon.com/shop/thecedarridgechronicles?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfshop_aipsfthecedarridgechronicles_9ZQS788YM5BDWPT8QDKE&language=en_US
It is all in my Amazon store 👍
Thanks so much for that link. I'm just getting started and I'm opening up my shop in August. So I've got a few more to practice on and your videos have been a life saver. One more question, on one of your videos you were using special brush to get inside of the nose and clean it up. It reminded me of a nipple brush. I've checked everywhere and can't find it. Do you have a link to that brush. I believe it was on the complete shoulder mount video
@@user-ti9gp5xg7c you should be able to find it at a taxidermy supply company
@thecedarridgechronicles thank you so much. I'll look over them again and see what I find. Keep up the good work brother.
What airbrush would you recommend for a beginner. I was thinking Iwata neo. $65. Might be a tad better than a harbor freight one?? But I’m asking your opinion
That's the airbrush I use now. It does a great job
I just added a link for it (the NEO) to the description of this video. I love using the small cup on top of the brush because you can use a few drops of paint at a time when you are constantly changing colors.
Where do you order your supplies from
I get most everything from pro 1 chemicals, Amazon, McKenzie taxidermy supply, and Ben Mears
An easy way to ruin a mount is not putting the cap on your airbrush cap. You can easily spill paint on the mount. I've learned how to fix that in the past ... I almost cried.
The fur on my beaver mount has faded because of sun exposure. What product should I use for repair.
I have heard of using hair dye, but I prefer to airbrush it because it is easier to control the color
@@thecedarridgechronicles The airbrush is no problem but how did you mix the dye for proper flow. Do you wipe it at some point to remove excess and dry. I find no information on this area. Thanks for your help.
I just use regular water based createx airbrush paint. I works well and is surprising durable even on hair.
@@thecedarridgechronicles I have the same issue on some of the feathers of a turkey mount, will this material work on feathers? As a painting contractor you would think I'd know these things but not in these areas. The rooms I have things displayed will at times receive sunlight in large areas of the rooms and the damage came quickly. I learned this fact years ago but the faded color was apparent on the beaver and turkey.
I've never tried it on feathers, but cosmetically I don't know why it wouldn't work, you would just lose the texture of the feathers, but that compromise may be worth it considering it's for looks and not touch!
Do you use a clear coat
I use Krylon triple thick
What kind of insurance do you have on your shop? Thanks for the videos
It is a separate business insurance through Allstate (my regular provider). It covers my shop, everything in it, and liability.
Do put gloss on the nose
Yes I use Krylon triple thick
do you have to paint the face, or can you just leave it natural? Other than the nose pad obviously.
The only problem with leaving it natural is that it doesn't dry a natural color. When the cape dries the leather turns a dark brown. Also most of the paint work is done to color the epoxy.
I work on tractor trailers mobile & I use a big aircompressor I got from harbor frieght & builds up to 150lbs of pressure to run a 1inch impact to change tires so I had pipe a different nipple to run my smaller 1/2" impact & they have a reducer you can put on the outlet that you can turn the pressure down
I see why women are starting to dominate the taxidermy field. 😂
They aren’t.
I wouldn't want my deer painted. I'd rather have it completely natural.
They are as far as the hair. The leather around the eyes and nose is discolored once it dries completely and must be painted to regain the natural look. Same with the nose pad and inside of the nostrils. Not really changing the color of the deer, just restoring what it was while alive
No no no. Harbor freight has straight Chinese shit that is not going to last. U will have to replace ur purchase-many times. Where as someone who buys quality will have it for lifetime. PS-my hubby is a trades biz owner. Myself and our kids also work there. So, I do know about overhead and costs profit margins.
I have had the same compressor for 10 years and still have not replaced it. Thanks for the bad advice
Do you gloss the nose pad with a little spray of triple thick or anything?
Yes that is exactly what I use👍

Thank you!!
Can you show a system to mount deer heads to paneld
Ok I will
