I realize that the fox's ears can go all over the place in real life, and I also know that you are a VERY experienced taxidermist, but why do many taxidermists have the ears sticking out to the side? To me it seems that a healthy,alert,dominant, fox, would have it's ears higher up . It would always be attached to the one place, but they tend to look more sloppy with the ears out. Maybe it is the heat down south that makes them look more" wilted".Also I know that mothers with cubs tend to have their ears down and out more. Our Canadian foxes often have more fur to cover things. I like the alert "up" look.
so many crybabies on this post geez !! wonderful work though man . thank you for preserving the beauty of this animal and letting it live on for years to come . taxidermy is something i long to try ... maybe one day lol
Honesty both of you are rude its fine if u dont agree if some people are commenting things like this "AWW POOR FOX" well all of you rude people can go poop themselves
Everyone in the comments needs to chill out. The fox most likely died if natural causes or was killed because of overpopulation issues. Killing an animal because of overpopulation is not cruel, if we let overpopulation happen these animals would brutally starve to death. Instead we humanely kill them, and I will not sugarcoat the fact that gunshots are painful, but it is generally quick, unlike starving to death. Starving is slow, painful, and extremely cruel for an animal to go through, and a gunshot is much more humane in comparison. Most taxidermists don't kill the animals they work on, instead they get commissioned to work on hunters kill, or get naturally deceased animals. This man is not a bloodthirsty fox killer. Just praise the man for his amazing work or dislike and move on.
Brian I really love this video because I'm about to purchase a Fox pelt or two with the head mount for a Frontier Fur Hat and I would appreciate knowing exactly what kind of acetone you use and how to properly use it and where to get it. Is the Dap just stand caulking for use around windows etc.? Also, do you have any advise or video showing a snarling, aggresive looking Fox? I want people to see the Fox head means business. lol. Thanks so much for any and all things your doing and sharing it with us.
Brian, Thank You... Any direction for self-education on rug mounts, Coyote, Bobcat, Black Bear. DVD's etc, self-help instruction? Been getting my hides professionally Tanned, Moyle Mink, don't know how to re-hydrate them for molds. I can skin well for taxidermy. Getting a bit old these days, have a ton of professional skinned quality hides. Want to desperately learn rug mounts. New Subscriber...
Mc Doof casting skulls is a little hard, I casted a young cat head and it had a perfect fit but setting the eyes was a bitch, i made a cheap mold of plaster of paris with a frozen head, I can give a detailed description if you want
Is the inside part of the ear real or artificial? As a trapper when we catch fox/coyote we remove the inside part of the ear entirely so it doesn’t rot and cause fur slippage
Brian..dang it I forgot to ask what kind of clay do you use and where do you get it and finally, does it set up and get hard? I HOPE I've remembered all my questions this time. lol
I have trophy head wall a lion 70's that need Small paint repairs on the contour of the eyes, nose and mouth (black color) Unfortunately, in my country. does not exist service taxidermy. My question ... What kind of paint do I use to paint the outline of the eyes, every nose and mouth of the lion? (Which does not damage skin)
what country are you in ? and i wouldn't reccomend painting the eyes yourself because you need to know how to blend the black with the natural fur color so it doesn't look stiff . if you must do it yourself i would research online painting techniques because you must blend the fur too
@@taxidermybrianhendricks629 not your fault. It’s all the dumb people being surprised that the thing in thumbnail was what was in the video. The fox is/was beautiful btw
@@Metrobolt49 umm, foxes are killed as pests, so unless you want to kill many more by deadly viruses, rabies, and getting hit by cars, being poisoned, the list goes on, you better support population control.

They kill foxes so there isn't an overpopulation. If the fox is overpopulated there wouldn't be enough food to feed them all. And they would all starve to death, It's like putting a dog down when it is really old. It could live a bit more but it would be painful for it to So you put it down peacefully
PinkMercy INFP ik I didn’t forget! thank you very much. And I mean if it’s someone’s fav animal then you should let them be sad instead of feeding into a fight
lps simba You are lucky to know what a real fox looks like. Millions of people never get to see an animal up close. An animal like this in a museum allows people to view animals up close and study them in a way that they can't do on television or even in a zoo (because they are moving or hiding).
man, i know im late, but they arent killed for this, its mainly stuff people find in the woods or as road kill, hence the name vulture culture, vultures dont kill.
@@hixd6706 you have to understand. This fox was already dead he didn't kill the fox and then proceed to stuff it that's the main thing about taxidermy that EVERYONE seems to get wrong. They do NOT stuff the animal it is litterally the pelt and a form which they put the pelt over. It's not taking a dead animal and stuffing its insides. And animals are killed it's just a fact, its just how things are.
Why is he so wrong to do this? You have no idea how this fox died. Yes, poaching and pelt farms are disgusting in my opinion, but hunting, killing because of overpopulation, and natural deaths are probably the most likely ways this fox died.
this is VULTURE culture. vultures dont kill - these are either found as roadkill or dead in the woods, or are made use out of foxes killed because of overpopulation. get your PeTA outta here.
I come back to this video every time I have a nice red on my desk. My favorite fox tutorial by far.
im a child and love taxidermy keep posting videos and showing me how to improve my own skills
I got a feeling with the way things are going these days this skill will be non existent in 40 years.
This is pure Art.
I hope it's gone within 5
I'm not even 30 yet and I'm learning to do it, if that helps.
It's all about taking the time to do the animal justice. Time and references! Nice video series!
speaking of reference your cat book is over the top
Thank you!
Loop head pin with an epoxy handle? Great little adjusting tool! Nice to have a big ol' handle for big ol' hands to hold!

Awesome video brother super informative, by far one of the better tutorials for fox faces

Looks stunning!
perfect .....thank you for video
It seems like applying the hide to the form would be better if it was damp or thirsty? Seems like that hide is dry. Is that better?

What all do you use like, materials?
Beautiful work.

as an interested beginner, how do you cast the moulds for the skull?

CowardCantaloupe please give a detailed description or step by step. I have been looking for something like this for ages!
I love fox
How is the tucking tool made like yours?

Amazing work, shame about all the little snowflake trolls in the comments
very very realistic
Hello Brian. Can you please activate the subtitles?
how do you preserve the natural nose? thank you amazing work
if it shrinks during tanning rehydrating for long enough should already put it to its natural shape, not sure if it deteriorates over time though

Wow
Genuinely surprised to see caulking used as an adhesive. Are there other alternatives?
There are various types of hide paste and epoxy glue sold by taxidermy supply companies.
All these people getting angry about a fox skin as if they didn’t click on a video with dead fox in the thumbnail
Not anymore, at UA-cam’s suggestion, I changed the thumbnail. My bad.
@@taxidermybrianhendricks629 not your fault. It’s all the dumb people being surprised that the thing in thumbnail was what was in the video. The fox is/was beautiful btw
Poor kurama
Same method for a soft mount
Sir what thing made body.
Do you have video of rabbit taxidermy?
Same process but I have not stand alone footage of my rabbit work.
What glue?
Latex Caulk or use hide paste. 👍
i thought it was a real fox it looks so real i want it badly i'm a HUGE fan of foxes so i'm making one
it is a real fox
You have to remember this was once a real animal and it's not done stuffed animal
it is a real fox, i know im late, but still...
@@Metrobolt49 umm, foxes are killed as pests, so unless you want to kill many more by deadly viruses, rabies, and getting hit by cars, being poisoned, the list goes on, you better support population control.
@@Metrobolt49 no one beats a fox to death lmfao. they have to be put to death humanely, there ARE laws, y'know?
Why caulk why not hide paste

why all of this makes me giggle... ?
Thank YOU LOL

Fur*
Its real.
This is sad but cool at the same time
The amount of snowflakes in this comment section really makes me ashamed of my generation
I’m crying! I love foxes!
They kill foxes so there isn't an overpopulation.
If the fox is overpopulated there wouldn't be enough food to feed them all.
And they would all starve to death,
It's like putting a dog down when it is really old.
It could live a bit more but it would be painful for it to
So you put it down peacefully
Renskate da fox but still do you realize how cruel this is to put on yt! I thought this was going to be how to make a clay fox! Not this!
PinkMercy INFP ik I didn’t forget! thank you very much. And I mean if it’s someone’s fav animal then you should let them be sad instead of feeding into a fight
Most of the fox population are unable to cross roads

Thank you very much for the nightmares

Taxidermy is a skill and an art, there is nothing ‘sick’ about it. Try watching videos without taxidermy if it’s so ‘sick’
...... how dare you kill an innocent animal
...... how dare you shame people for their hobbies
are you vegan? if not you've killed many innocent animals too
He didn't kill it it was probably found dead or hunters killed it

Foxes are overpopulated predators
