    One thing i've learned from watching a bunch of taxidermy videos is taxidermists don't charge near enough for their work

    I taxidermied a hooded merganzer once. Very fun project. The cat got to it and made it look like a Pterodactyl from hell. Used it as a white elephant gift that year. Great hobby!

    Micah mounted my 1st wood duck drake. Took a bird with a bad busted wing and fixed it to make me as a customer happy with the flying mount that I wanted. Looks exactly how it did when I shot it, he is a true artist!

    I’ve always been very fascinated by death and biology/zoology. Learning taxidermy has been a recent wish of mine. Thank you so much for the educational video! So many people don’t understand how important this artistry is

    Great video! As an european taxidermist where this mounting method is not very common, I am very thankful for a tutorial! Just one point I couldn't really get was on the flying mount : the feet were mount to the body on the podest from the very beginning, how did you get the skin on it, did you cut the leg skin open and put it around or did you detach the legs and attached them after you put them through the skin again like on the standing duck? Hope the question is clear ( trying my best in English :D) Would be happy to get an answer to that! Thank you so much!

  • @tombishop8083
    @tombishop8083 Před rokem +1

    Very nice work. The widgeon is terrific. I have several mounted birds and now better understand what was involved in the process. I now know why the feet on a nice cinnamon teal mounted in the 80's have shrunk. When I kill another Quill Lakes Canada goose it is going to these folks.

  • @Hickory_Ridge_Taxidermy
    @Hickory_Ridge_Taxidermy Před rokem +1

    So there’s this big debate on wether to strip the secondary quills off the wing bone… I saw were you strip them. Can you elaborate the advantages or disadvantages of each process, and since you do strip them. What steps do you take to get them back in place?

  • @Outdoorsnmotors
    @Outdoorsnmotors Před 6 měsíci

    I just had a gentleman mount 3 birds for me, only charged me 120 per bird and only took 3 weeks. Other people were charging 360 a bird and it was a year and a half turn-around. I was curious of the process. Asked my taxidermist why he wasn’t charging very much. He said honestly, I’m retired, and I’ve been doing birds since I was 10 years old, I just love doing them and seeing people happy. Great older gentleman.
