Taxidermy tools of the trade

[@randyboteilho9125]

Aloha , I live on Molokai , Axsis Galore ever did those ?

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! I have not worked on an axis yet. Those are some cool looking deer. Hopefully I will get to work on some in the future.

Can you get your measurements for the form off just the hide if you get the antlers and hide without the skull?

[@StoverTaxidermyLLC]

Can a battery operated stapler be used?

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! Yes a battery powered stapler can be used. I have use the Milwaukee battery powered one and it is very powerful.

[@StoverTaxidermyLLC]

@@ClearCreekTaxidermy thanks appreciate it!

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

You’re welcome.

[@morganseale1331]

do you do any touch up painting? and if so do you use an airbrush machine?

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! Yes I use an airbrush to do the finish work! I will have a finish work video up on the channel in the near future where I will be going over using the airbrush and paint to finish a whitetail deer. Be sure to hit the notification button so you will know when I have more videos available on the channel.

Can we make banjo skins with small medium animals trapping and hunting?

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! I’m sure you could. You would have to do a hair removal method and then stretch the skins and attach them to a drum ring.

[@hunterlewis1063]

I’ve been doing euro mounts and I’m trying to move into like shoulder mounts and stuff like that, I’ve gotten my horns and everything screwed to my form and all, hide in the freezer, what do you suggest I do next

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! If you haven’t already. I would go ahead and salt the hide then pickle it. Then flesh it and remove all meat fat and membrane. Return it to the the pickle over night then neutralize it and rinse it and then apply your tan. Then all you have to do is give it one last rinse prep your eyes, nose, lips and ears then you will be ready to go. Be sure to hit the notification button so you will know when I have more videos available on the channel. Go over to my channel and check out all of my other videos that cover all the steps I mentioned above.

Question? Which Taxidermy supply company do you feel has the cheapest shipping cost? McKenzie's shipping cost is ridiculous!

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

It all depends on what type of product you need. If one company has a certain product that I like to use and the others don’t have it in there inventory I will pay a little extra for shipping.

Good informational video. Thank you sir

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! Keep an eye out for future videos.

@@ClearCreekTaxidermy My pleasure. I'm looking forward to learning more from you.

[@rbljackson]

Thanks for this one! Trying to put together a list of supplies and tools needed to pick this up. So we have seen the Deer Mount video, and the Cape (prep to mount video). I read a comment that you tan your own hides....hope we can have you back up and cover those processes as well. After the deer is processed for meat, i know that caping is the next step. I may try to start practice caping does and smaller deer just for practice. After caping, can you cover all the steps from there (when to salt, when to pickle, tips for long term storage in freezer before mounting, etc) to the tanned hide in future vids. Really enjoying the content so far. Thx!!

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

I am working on a tanning video now. I hope to have it up in a week or two. I will probably do a caping video demonstration of skinning the head of a whitetail and getting the measurements for ordering the form. I will try to do these in order so viewers will understand the process of getting the cape ready to tan. Thanks for watching!

[@kamransaxena7452]

Still looking forward to seeing the rest of the tools for this trade, airbrushed ect! And the pickling process!

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! The pickling process will be the next video added to the channel. Be on the lookout for it.

[@RiderOutdoors55]

Right on man! Keep the videos coming! Very informative and fun to watch!

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! Glad you like them!

[@zanersparadise]

Love your videos! I would love to see how you tan the hides. I have a kit to mount my own deer, but I’m unsure about how to tan the hide.

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! I have a tanning video in production that I will go over the process step by step. Make sure you hit the notification so you will know when I have new content available. The tanning video will be up on the channel very soon.

How do you get deer antlers not to stink

[@ClearCreekTaxidermy]

Hey thanks for watching! If you’re talking about the skull cap. You can try simmering in a mixture of water and tide washing powder for about twenty minutes. If it is really bad and that doesn’t stop the odor. Rinse it off and change the mixture to plain clear ammonia and water then simmer for fifteen minutes. Then rinse with water.
