AMY'S ANIMAL ART TAXIDERMY! SUPER TALENTED Amy Ritchie talks taxidermy and the new YOUTUBE CHANNEL!

[@davetoms63]

I remember when Amy first started so many years ago. It is nice to see how she has progressed.

[@killintime8431]

Ya I remember when she was leaning from Ken Walker

[@KentuckyAntlerWorx]

I remember when she showed up on Taxinet...mounting roadkill cats her dad would bring home. Great story.

[@loganmidgette8395]

I love this content format. Just a long uncut conversation. Feels like I’m standing in there listening. Great job.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you. I'm not great at content creation, but I love documenting what I do and folks I get to meet!

[@dudejrryan]

Entertaining & highly informative...loved every second of this video. Came in exhausted from my taxidermy shop. After watching...I'm ready to go back at it😂

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Haha! Not me I'm beat! Lol

[@bradhendrickson7067]

I'm the BUDDING taxidermist... started with my own 3.. now i'm working on 5 more and hoping to Partime this as a Good Hobby

[@alberteinstein9045]

I'm SUBSCRIBED. I did my first mount (a muskrat) when I was ten and continued over many years........I'm now 66. Nice to see two professional taxidermist discussing your craft.

[@tylerrohrbaugh6337]

Awesome video, as a new taxidermist it is good to see videos like this. I really enjoyed listening to you all discuss the different forms you all like and the ones you didn’t like. This will help me in the future making decisions for forms to better suit my customers.

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Very very talented young lady.Keep up the nice art

[@billybooth6737]

Dan excellent video with a super taxidermist. Christie dont an excellent job filming your video. Thanks for sharing your experience with Amy. Billy

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thanks brother!

[@oldhickorytaxidermy]

I was so happy to see this video! How cool. I just love her, and her incredible work.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

She is awesome!

[@coreylambert5313]

Ben Mears forms are amazing. I work for a taxidermist part time in MO, slowly learning. My biggest buck is in a Mears wall pedestal. Beautiful.

[@NeonPossum]

Super interesting being a "fly on the wall" for shop talk! Especially as I'm in the UK and taxidermy culture is pretty different here. I'm so envious of all your big game and taxidermy suppliers!

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

It really is amazing what all we have access to. I had someone several months ago ask if I would taxidermy their dog when it passes away. 😂

[@michaelpetro8032]

You are a wonderful artist, and I do love the ink

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Very nice shop setup

[@jeremycalvin9396]

Excellent video !!!!!!!

[@angelfirefilms3273]

I started taxidermy in 2011 This chick Amy is Bad a$$ she has to be the most documented taxidermist + she's been making money off taxidermy sence she was young is a mother and entrepreneur...would be crazy to actually meet her at a show some day...

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Yeah started at 13 with road kill. It was awesome to talk to her in person. Her knowledge of taxidermy and animal anatomy is amazing but to listen to her talk about the science and chemistry of it all is incredible. I didn't show the entire conversation because I wanted to reserve a lot of the information for her in her new channel.

[@angelfirefilms3273]

@@thecedarridgechronicles good I'm glad she's starting one she never post on KZbin yeah I definitely look forward to meeting her one day she has changed alot last thing I seen her in was a bigfoot taxidermy documentary I'm watching then theirs Amy lol..I attended my first world show back earlier in the year..

[@adamhowel3683]

Nice peak into another taxidermist mindset and shop... Nice work Amy and Daniel!!! thanks

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

It's always interesting to me to see someone else's favorite way of doing things. It really shows you the options that are available to utilize your own strengths!

[@warrenmullett]

You both are nice down to earth people and enjoy the content!😊

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you!

[@truthmatters4ever247]

Glad to see young people interested in doing it. It is fun but don't burn yourself out. I did so many mounts that I finally burnt myself out. I can't even bring myself to do my own anymore. After 20 plus years I just had enough. I think a lot of it I just didn't make that good of money at it. Looking back I should have charged more but people in my area just didn't have the money.

[@Fieryfox41]

That’s awesome you went to visit her and see her shop. Nice lady that does amazing work. She is just over a hour from me and she will be mounting a shoulder mount of my 2022 September 10th 120 class NC archery buck.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

That's awesome!

[@Hoyt-wv5gd]

Amy ,, Love your vids ,, keep them up please

[@nickdottavio7374]

Hello,just saw your KZbin video. I've been doing taxidermy for many years and appreciate what you do.Great looking shop.Great looking mounts.Happy New Year. Nick

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you

[@chetmcdonald]

You have the right approach to taxidermy. There are many ways to do a certain process.

[@tannerboy92]

Looking to get into the trade and learn. This video gave me some good ideas with tackling the learning curve. Thank you!

[@thomasromano4071]

That’s awesome I been a fan of yours and actually text you before and i commented on her bobcat video that she was good and you were also !!! Lol

[@bradhendrickson7067]

Amy, the HATE comes from jealousy... Love Both of you...

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you. Much appreciated!

[@cryptidoutlaw8707]

Stopped video to go subscribe to Amy's channel then continued with video. Great video learned a lot. Thanks.

[@7outdoors4life]

Amigo that’s great I remember watching her first videos but don’t know what happen to her channel

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

She has a huge Facebook platform, but is just starting a KZbin channel! Stay tuned!

[@7outdoors4life]

Alright thank you my friend I will check her fb!!!! Amd ones again thanks for your amazing videos!!!

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

That was very cool buddy!!

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you!

[@scottjackson8742]

Reference,reference,study reference period!!!!!! Reference!!!! You can have technique and artistic talent. But you also have to understand anatomy. You have to study reference. She does her homework. Awesome work!

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Absolutely!!

[@OutdoorExperiences]

Great stuff

[@christophergentile7464]

Outstanding

[@christophergentile7464]

Subbed to Amy’s channel also

[@bradwahlin9625]

I loved the video! Did you say you had some old mounting stands that you don’t use anymore? I would love to buy one from you if you do! Keep up the great videos!

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I do have a couple, but rather than use them for mounting, I still use them for drying on the warmer days and months. I'll drag them outside and face the deer into the sun lol

[@bradwahlin9625]

@@thecedarridgechronicles Awesome! Great idea! Thanks again for your incredible channel. I am starting my first mule deer on Monday using a lot of your advise and techniques. I will keep you updated on my progress!

[@Dsano]

Where can I get the schedule for the courses? Great video. I looked at her website and it doesn’t say anything about courses. Ty

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I think you just contact her and arrange a time per her schedule

[@stevep7713]

I live in jersey, just outside NYC. Ive always wanted to get into taxidermy. Ive noticed there is lady who has classes in the city which im going to be signing up for. Id love to take a ride down to see Amy's shop.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I hope her shop is ok. I haven’t talked to her since the storm hit.

[@mikejensen6533]

She's the national champion

[@jbird8854]

Would doing a video on different forms be possible? There are so many to look at and choose from according to correct size of course. Great video.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I just got done recording that yesterday! 🤣 I'll have it edited and uploaded this week

[@outdoorswithjt6652]

That bobcat was badass

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Yeah it was

[@rob701TurkeyGuy]

Her Bobcats are the best.

[@mikefanelli545]

Awesome

[@rob701TurkeyGuy]

I have witnessed one taxidermist bring in a bluegill that was done by another taxidermist. Entered into a show, won 1st in professional division and used it in his online photo gallery and bragging rights. J&K

[@whitetailcqb5782]

Thank you for the video I just subscribe to her

Awesome! Tell her I sent you and I said hello!

I turned my attached garage into my shop I built it to look like a log cabin inside not a massive shop but it’s mine and clean warm inviting

[@joshuagaddis1779]

I’m an artist and I am trying to maybe do a photo taxidermy lien rogue, but I am having trouble finding good for you. Be able to recommend some where I can find it?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Not sure

[@joshuagaddis1779]

@@thecedarridgechronicles ur video came up when researching the faux taxidermy I jumped the gunna before watching the video

[@boltfluting.comvideos2233]

Wait, what? Don't know what you are asking?

[@rob701TurkeyGuy]

Amys like I want to get to work? Talked over her quite a bit.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

She was off that day

[@bigholli8449]

I paid a taxidermist for my duck, the 50% deposit, he said thanks, haven't heard anything in three months.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Average turnaround is usually about a year. I wouldn’t worry about it just yet. You shouldn’t be good 👍

[@coreylambert5313]

Also, is it Amy Carter, or Amy Ritchie?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

It's Ritchie now

[@thetbird.]

Would have loved to know more from a successful professional. Seemed like you didnt let her talk much.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I definitely interrupted more than I listened. I was a little star struck honestly.

[@thetbird.]

@@thecedarridgechronicles gotcha, I would have been too! She is awesome.

[@notcharles]

is this about Amy? Or you?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I was a little star struck! Couldn’t keep my mouth shut 😂

[@moline800hdyup4]

Great content but PLEASE STOP talking over people, it's super aggravating and you can see her like dam dude let me finish my sentence!!!!

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I never realized I did it this bad until I watched the vid and was like dang it man, shut up! But I do really like to talk....

[@moline800hdyup4]

@The Cedar Ridge Chronicles ok cool as long as you realize it and maybe called her back and said you didn't realize you were doing it and not any of my buisness but that's what I would do 🤷‍♂️

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Well we actually stay in touch discussing content on the phone and were doing so before I ever came and did the video, so it wasn't quite as bad as it looks on a personal level, but I also edited out a lot of the conversation because I was actually there to talk to her off camera about starting on KZbin so when she would bring up talking points that would be good for her own content, I edited them out so she could put it in her own videos for her benefit. That made it even sound a little more like me telling points rather than her because of her time I cut out. If you watch the video I made at Ben Mears' shop I talked a lot less after watching the visit with Amy. No one realizes what they do that is annoying until they video themselves and watch it back. It sure doesn't come out the way it does in your own head! Everyone should make content and listen to themselves. I think it would resolve all kinds of issues lol

[@moline800hdyup4]

Look I think your content is great and I love that you were helping her ,but you were still talking over her alot ..PERIOD... I could care less either way I was just bringing it up so you could better yourself, I'd want someone to do the same for me. I wasn't trying to be a prick I was just being honest. Keep up the good work and I hope her channel takes off as well as yours.

[@killintime8431]

I didn’t think he was talking over anyone

[@jasonexplains]

Bro let her talk. You interrupt her every time she talks.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

But then I couldn't hear myself talk
