Taxidermy Truths | Episode 30 | Skinning for Taxidermy
This week on Taxidermy Truths, we discuss skinning for different mount types.
Whether you are considering a shoulder mount, pedestal, half mount, 3D mount or full mount - each display requires different instructions for skinning your animal. Then there are also the rug mounts, flat skins and backskins to think about.
Planning your taxidermy along with your safari is a great way to ensure that your animals are skinned according to your requirements.
Doug gives some useful tips and information on how to skin correctly for each mount type and the factors to consider ahead of time.

🐊
It's magnificent, beautiful, and amazing. Let's kill it and stuff it on a wall. Ok. Im in! I need one now. Awesome! Not sure where I'm going with this, hu?
Is that clay slip that the foam base is covered in before sculpting wax?
I totally agree with you.
Cheer~~~denoting an animal, especially a horse or cow, having a coat of a main color thickly interspersed with hairs of another color, typically bay, chestnut, or black mixed with white.😊
My left ear really enjoyed this
You so lucky you got to go through there
Thank you for this video. Very informative. What is the price of a bontebok replica skull?
$4000
Very well run company by the looks of things and the work is quality and obviously has very high standards
Excellent videos, well explained
Are they tasty? Genuinely curious. I've had venison from several species, bison, wild boar, goat,and pronghorn. But never a genuine antelope. What does their flavor best compare to or is it unique to them.? Thank you.
You have some amazing people working for you
Man I wish I could make one were I live I can only do small snakes bugs fish and birds
😑
Can I buy lions claws and nails please
Can you send me the lion's claw to india
I stay in port elizabeth,it is great to see a company in pe on UA-cam,thanks very much
Port Elizabeth boys❤
Beautiful video, it was my 1st antelope that I had the pleasure of hunting
Need to lower the music, can barely hear the guy.
Good healthy philosophy. Every hunt is an experience, and builds a lifetime of skill and outlook.
have been Waiting since My May 2022 hunt, the trophies where rec'd by Spitting Image in Nov 2022. It is now Aug 2024 and I have not rec'd my trophies. I am very disappointed in the customer service provide by Splitting Image.
Tiny 10 Slam one of my dream.
Please Stop killing innocent animals, you are killing nature .........!!!!
Killer of the nature,,,,,,,, shame on you
That's awesome 👏 may God bless you too ❤❤❤❤
They look great!
When i grow up it is my dream to be a taxidermist this video gave me so much inspiration!
Not to mention the bow hunters that sit around a watering hole in a ghillie suit.
This all makes sense but people that hunt from the back of a bakkie and call themselves hunters, are a joke.
Hell i cant even afford to go hunting😅
I think that one looks like crap. Like yall couldnt decide if you were going with the shrunken head version or what.
Lets see your traditional full mount baboon?
Traditional mount is best
First Taxidermist sales pitch I’ve ever seen before.
I'm just looking at all the animals in the background. Did he kill all those African animals, or are those fake.
He’s a European they love killing. Look how he brags about murdering innocent animals.
Probably got it from hunters. They hunt on game farms so animal population is always kept stable.
@@grill9067bro... Can you shutup?
I would like a skull mount.
What a beautiful display mount that that is there so detailed wow
When you look at it straight from the front his facial expression is hilarious.
Girl his voice tho❤
I think you should be mounted sitting at a table playing cards respectfully in natural habitat. The animals your skinning and mounting are doing nothing but trying to live as theyve done for millennia then sombody comes along turns their habitat into a farm and suddenly the animals are a pest ....... Stewards of the land.
😂
I somewhat agree, even as a taxidermist.
The animals didn't evolve fast/good enough Make way for the farms
I kind of agree, but people have to live too. There's a happy medium there. If a baboon is destroying what little food I have growing, it's me or the baboon. I'm not going to starve for a baboon.
The reason they're culled is because the Europeans bringing agriculture to sub-Saharan Africa suddenly increased the available food for animals, especially intelligent animals such as baboons, to a level which allowed their population to explode. These groups of baboons would eventually starve or tear each other to pieces without human intervention. Use your brain and stop virtue-signalling
That trophy room is amazing. If I ever become rich I want something like that. Maybe some day 👍👍🙏
Unfortunately now I think shipping is going up so much each year that it's a wash now!
❤
Great Great JOb sir
Well done!!! Thanks.
Awesome Showcase.
Great video explaining a good result for the taxidermist. Hopefully my PH will set me up properly in September !
Osam
Helpful insight, thank you!
What are the price ranges for shipping?
