What is the white powder he is using can anyone help?
Those are some big ass nuts on that squirrel
A true master
What did you use to tan the hide
There's no squirrel in my kit. LOL
Who knows if this comment will get a reply but what’s the powder stuff he’s using called. I know it’s a preservative but would something like borax be a good replacement?
💙
When I click on the link in the description it brings me to a boarding school for teens and says it’s not secure
That was super helpful!!!! Thanks so much!
this video is absolute gold thank you
Do you tan it or just use borax
Rhat went really really well. It did not go well for me. Probably after a few times it get easier
Your really handy with that boxcutter, I might have to try that next time I do squirell hide.
I am from Nottingham in the UK Just wondering how much it is the postage Love the video's Very informative👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.
Where can I purchase borax and where can I purchase the mannequin? Plz help thank you
So today walking home from school and in front of my driveway i found a squirrel that was ran over. The body is noce and the only plwce that was ran over ove the head. Its a very fluffy squirrel so i messeged my dad and asked him if i could attempt to skin it and possibly mount it. He told me to do some research and i want to purchase your guys kit. Thanks for all the info
How'd it come out?
How much is the kit
How many do you do a week?
Best nost informative video and kit i have seen yet. My 1st time wanting to try taxidermy to see if i like it and work on squirrel first, got a trophy squirrel in the woods right now i wanna use for food/mount and i cant wait to see how i do
My toxic trait is thinking I could do it this fast. Haha. You make it look so easy. Great job!
if you use borax that means the meat is now tainted. hunters and trappers should always encourage ethical harvest and use of wildlife. I wouldn't use borax on any edible portions, and you're covering it with a toxic subtance, thanks for making the video but that sets a prime example of wasteful harvest of protected species.
I'm stunned, you make it look so easy, oh my god. I'm from Germany and just starting to learn taxidermy. The profession has basically died out over here, there's only one school left that teaches taxidermy, I'm looking forward to applying there but I want to learn something before, so it will help my chances at getting accepted, so I'm basically practicing on roadkill. This helped me a lot with learning how to skin and flesh small mammals, thank you so much for posting it here, it is really hard to come by good taxidermy content 😊
Excellent video. Thanks so much!
Very helpful thanks a lot.
This Feller is the best there ever was!!!! Knows his stuff.
Come on, I know this was made as a comedy skit. Listen to them, assemble frozen dead squirrel with their kit for family fun. I can not stop laughing. Do not worry, the frozen dead squirrel will stay preserved for fun in the future.
What a stupid comment 🤦
Your link for the kit is not working
Amazing thank you
I'm fleshing a squirrel that was hit by a car and has a large reddish bruise in the hide...I scraped it several times but it seems to be in the hide...will this affect the final product?
It should not. It is just a blood stain.
My son (12 yrs old) is doing a squirrel and one of the feet came off when skinning. Is there a way to re-attach? He's devastated...
Not sure Sew it back on if you can. Mount it where you can hide the foot. Do what ever you can to finish the mount. If he continues to taxidermy that want be the last foot he pulls off I have mounted thousands and ever now and then I pull one too.
@@ellzeystaxidermy2872 Can’t thank you enough for the quick reply. It restored his spirits. We’re making a plan to make it work. He’s watched your videos here over and over and skins anything he can catch in his traps. This will be his first mount. Will be ordering your kit today. Thank you again so much.
This was my first ever introduction to taxidermy. Helped with my first squirrel, rabbit, and chipmunk. So thankful for the channel.
I watched your entire entire series from start to finish from fleshing and skinning all the way up to this point, and it was massively informative. I want to get into taxidermy myself, and I wanted to gift my younger sister a squirrel for hunting season in honor of our grandmother, as she absolutely loved squirrels. This is highly informative and again I do appreciate what you both have done!
How does this work with no tanning?
One of the best videos on how to do this I’ve seen
King Sabrina saying thank-you text story that you've done is really good myself I was thinking about doing this helps alot
How long do you leave the pins in?
How long do you pin
Miranda makes it looks soooo easy. She's really good at this game.
40 years, WOW... you make it look SO easy. I will head your advice - slow down and take it easy.

How do u do the feet do u leave the bones in or cut them out
Beautifully done 0:50
You mounted a black squirrel for me through my taxidermist. So cool to see how it was done.
I have raised 6 squirrels
I love watching my best friend do taxidermy work as well he is a Cajun from the deep marshlands and swamps of Louisiana true French Cajun background his mom is 100 percent French Cajun blood line same with his dad and he is a artist with taxidermy work, y'all do some amazing work as well and he got me into trying it myself he recently after 10 years of him trying to get me into doing my own taxidermy work. I'm doing a squirrel for the first time today myself with no help cuse he is out of town and can't help me I have a good idea of how to do it cuse I watch him do it all the time I just suck at the skinning it part but it's getting better. I 3d print all of the inserts he needs as well I made a machine that turns plastic battles like two litters only cuse it's thicker and it strips it down into perfect size plastic wire filament for my 3d printer for free and takes the machine 1-3 hours to make 6 squirrel inserts and I make every insert for him for any type of animal and what ever he needs for the inside of the animals he mounts for ppl cuse it's very cheap and recycling plastic and a bigger profit margin for him. I pretty much 3d print everything he needs for taxidermy work that isn't seen or not noticable at all
Thank you so much I did some playing around and made a bunch of inserts for the hide to go around with my 3d printer for a few cents it's amazing and probably has changed the game for alot of professional taxidermy places cuse you can 3d print anything or use a resin 3d printer as well cause each insert for a squirrel only costs me .39 cents not even a whole penny and ever since I made my own plastic stripper I can take plastic battles and make my own filament for free so now it costs me nothing but 1-2 hours of printer running to make 5 inserts for squirrels and your recycling plastic bottles
You should make a video of how you use your printer to make it.. I'd like to watch and see what you are talking about while you do it... tag me in a video..😂😅
Uhh, question, our neighbor(who we are really close with) is hunting deer, is there a kit for does or bucks??
thank you sooooo much for these videos.
Trying to order this kit but the web page linked is not working - where can I get this kit? My squirrel is ready to be mounted!
