    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!

    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.

      How much would they charge for a feral pig or dingo? Because having either one as a trophy would be cool as hell

    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!

    This video is a little old now, and this comment is unrelated to the AMAZING work both of these two are doing! As a woman, it’s disgusting to see comments “she was so distracting” “she’s so hot” Believe it or not, objectifying women isn’t what most of us want, she’s doing her job, and is doing it super well, there’s no need for comments like that. If you want to comment on how she looks there’s a way to say “she’s pretty! great work!” without sounding like a huge perv, I hope you treat the women in your family better then you treat random women online.

    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?

    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!

    Hey there
    I’m pretty new in taxidermy. I wondered if it is possible to skin a duck and then put the skin back into the freezer and do the mounting another day? If it is possible, how is then the best way to do it?
    Hope my english is understandable 🫣😊
    Thanks for some very nice videos 👍
