WHAT ALL do you NEED to mount a SINGLE DEER? (I wish I was given this advice)

[@coreylasley]

I greatly appreciate your videos!! When I was a teenager back in the 90s I wanted to be a taxidermist, but ended up getting into computer programming. I absolutely love the outdoors and taxidermy, and after 25 years of sitting behind a computer 8-5, my desire to get back into taxidermy has been rekindled. I actually tagged out (for the first time in my life) on two average sized 8-point bucks this season, neither of which I would normally have mounted, however I feel these bucks will be great specimens to learn shoulder mounting with. I've got them caped out and and capes rolled and in the freezer. I am soaking up all of your amazing wisdom, and hope to see if I can do this in the spring.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Great! Good luck!

[@anthonybailey9570]

I come by your shop a few times a year going fishing in Florida. Was planning on stopping by one day but didnt want to bother you. I have mounted 2 deer by watching your videos. Both look great. Thank you so much for the videos. I really appreciate it.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Just holler if you have time to stop by and see if I’m around!

[@casonbedford3683]

You’re are one of the only to help others. Thank you so much

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

You’re welcome. Thanks for the support!

Shot my 2nd best buck out of the JX3 this year and picked up stuff to mount him today.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Nice!!

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Nice!! Congratulations

[@SnipeEasyC2015]

Thanks for helping. Going to attempt mounting my first one this year. Buck or doe. I'm gonna try ro mount one.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Good luck!🍀

Awesome job on the video Daniel great info. I will never forget my first mounting stand a 4x4 screwed to a piece of plywood it was interesting but it got the job done that's all that matters keep up the good work and have a great 4th of July

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you! Sometimes you have to get creative 😂

[@fred7854]

Hey Daniel, Great video. You do make it sound easy. I just wish I could get out one more time and bag another buck. With my back so bad it be hard for me to walk around like I use to. After watching so many of your videos, I would love to try and mount it myself. Love your channel and all your videos. Take care and be safe.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you!

[@David73HardCorePa]

Another Great informative video, Daniel!!Sure make it so easy ,,at least u have other videos that covers everything else,,Luv it,,Great Work, Daniel

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I appreciate it!

[@steveludwig8459]

Great videos. I mounted a deer last year after watching your video's. I used an engine stand to hold the form. Was on wheels and could spin the form upside down

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

That’s a great idea!

[@rhettbarrett8423]

I love your videos so much I have learned so much from you. Thank you.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Glad to hear that! Thank you

[@darkhillseuropeanmountsLLC]

Great video I love how informative it is.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you!

[@philipbailey-zb8eq]

I finished my 3rd deer today. Just guessing I’m about 3k into tools and supplies. I do have a van dyke fleshed which was costly. When I need advise I do watch a great deal of your videos. I’ve learned on my past 3 deer, there is no 2 taxidermist that does anything the same. Thank you!!

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Yessir!

[@jasonrigsby6190]

Question: A while back you showed a set up with a fleshing cone and a couple other pieces all together for putting hide over to flesh a guy sent you. Which video was that? Thnx in advance!

Hello Daniel, love all your videos 🙏 thank you for sharing. I was heavily involved in taxidermy when I was younger. Now I’m 66. I got a WT doe last year and she’s in a pickle. I had to remove her head from the mouth because it was too large for the neck removal. Now I’m concerned on how to mount a shoulder mount. I’ve never done this before. She had a beautiful long neck. I thought it would be a beautiful Mount and maybe when I get a buck I can put them close together. How would you go about this if you would share? Thanks Dave

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I always just make a small incision on the back of the head to fit it over the form similar to mounting a buck, but cut as little as possible

[@davegreenlee1802]

As always! Thank You 🙏🙏🙏

[@oliviaengelage13]

Please tell me where I can get a taxidermy stand like the one you have there.

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

This one is homemade and was given to me as a gift. I’ve never seen one for sale with more than 4 receivers

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Great info abd video my friend! Thank you for sharing@

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thank you!

[@jasonrigsby6190]

Another great video! Just curious, how big is your shop?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Thanks! It’s 16X50

I am doing my first deer this week. I was wondering about power washing the flesh. If you have any tips, could you inlight me. I’m also in college so it’s constantly stop and go. So when I get to the salting step, could I let it sit more than 2 days? After tanning, could I rap it up in a bag for more than a night before I put it on the form?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

You can power wash to flesh it, you will still need to split the lips and nostrils and thin the face by hand. I wouldn’t leave it out salted more than a day and night, but you can rehydrate in about a half hour and go into the pickle with it where it can stay a long time as long as the ph stays right. Once it’s tanned, you can put it in a bag with the tan still on it and freeze it. When you get ready to mount just thaw, wash, and towel dry and it’s ready

[@drakeleach3316]

@ Thank you so much. Wouldn’t be able to do this without your channel.

[@BlakeOwens-yk6wu]

Also sir one more question I’ve only ever used dry preserve but recently bought everything to do the pickling method I know you haven’t used DP but in your opinion does the pickling have less pulling away while drying the only issue I have is with my lip line they want to pull out even tho I cut a tight line have to keep tucking lips for several days or is this just normal with anything you use? Sorry so long

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Dry preservatives cause an extreme amount of shrinkage compared to tanning. A tanned hide that is not properly thinned will shrink more than a really thin cape, but not near as much and certainly not as quickly, giving the hide paste time to do its job.

[@BlakeOwens-yk6wu]

Thank you sir really appreciate you taking the time to answer our questions I’ve been on the look out for a used fleshing machine until then just scalping away😂

[@BlakeOwens-yk6wu]

Hey brother I’ve been using oil base for all my painting with artist brush so far just bought airbrush set up and gonna get the paints off your site but you was saying you needed to seal the water base paints but couldn’t find what you said to seal it with on there? May be looking in the wrong spot

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I use Krylon spray sealer

[@BlakeOwens-yk6wu]

Found it after I wrote this sorry man love your videos keep up the great work brother

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

@BlakeOwens-yk6wu no problem!

[@heavymetalhero08]

Would I be wrong to say that the little bit of money saved, when DIY one mount, isn't worth it when one could just pay a little more to have an experienced professional do it since they are purchasing supplies at lower bulk prices and already know the process to eliminate additional unnecessary expenses? What might one save by DIY , $100-$200?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

You are absolutely right. It costs me $300 a deer and I already have the tools

[@Ealum1013]

Do you ever save and reuse your pickles?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I do twice. I use a 75 gallon pickle and will do 15 hides at a time for 2 batches. After that I’ll clean my tub and start over.

[@Ealum1013]

@@thecedarridgechronicles Since reusing the pickle... Do you neutralize in a separate container?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

@@Ealum1013 yes I do. I usually neutralize 2 capes at a time, tan, mount, then do 2 more until it’s time for the next 15

[@josephnorris5910]

Man this is good stuff. Did you got to a school for taxidermy or did you learn it on your own?

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

I learned from watching KZbin videos so I didn’t have to pay for mounts anymore hahaha!
