This man is the Bob Ross of Taxidermy

Just saw this video, all i can say is WOW!

You do exceptional work i've been doing taxidermy twenty four years, you do not charge enough

Much respect.... pretty dang awesome

Excellent! Thanks for taking your time to do these videos.

Man these videos are awesome. Always been interested in Taxidermy. Thanks for explaining in such detail.

I am glad I found this channel. As an wildlife painter I am finding these anatomical videos really interesting. Another art form for sure. Great work!

That’s good work, I’m getting into this slowly, thanks for the info.

Excellent video! I love the finger painting. Never thought of that. Thank you so much for this class!!

You put a lot of love in your work. And it shows!

Ok, I watched a few of these now, my eyes need a break.. I just hope that I love doing these when I do finally get started.. Been my dream since I was in my twenties and I’m now 52, so I need to get it started

Very nice work, and I admire your patience

That came out great! Another productive technique learned! These videos are very helpful to me sir. Thank you again.

Thanks for the video.That is a helluva nice job you did there 👍

Great job on the antler repair!!!!

Beautiful job!!!

That was awesome! Very cool video thank you

That is unreal, I can’t believe how good that looks

Fantastic work…..and great presentation…thoroughly enjoyed it 😎

My favorite channel. Once again Great Work! I tell people all the time that these mounts are going to be up on the wall. They are not meant to be stared at a foot away. This deer repair will look completely natural & unnoticable 5-15 feet away

Keep on the good work. best regards from Portugal.

A real Antoine-Louis Barye! Excellent

You sir are an artist if I hadn't seen the whole repair with my own eyes compliments of your video I would never have known that was broken absolutely amazing eye for color this is the 3rd or 4th video I've watched and I'm hooked your are one of the best taxidermist I've watched work that's beautiful art

Very cool and knowledgeable

Thank you for this video. Trying to fix my first buck antler myself for a antler mount

If you would add a little dawn to your water it will help the epoxy not to stick to your hands and help you to smooth out your apoxy. I mount fish and this tip was passed on to me. Really helpful. Enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with your subscribers.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

You did very good job.

Beautiful work sir! I’ve done many antler rebuilds and this looks fantastic. Great technique.

Awesome man

Man that's awesome good work brother..

Really good antler repair! ..would be good to see a video on the details of finishing the back of a pedestal mount if you could sometime. Thanks.

I just tuned into an episode of bob ross…. Joking but I love the content and you do amazing work!

Enjoy your video 👍

I've used white apoxie sculpt & colored it with blood. Keep some in the freezer when you gut a deer. Walnut hulls work ok but blood is the best match I've found. Probably because the velvet is bloody. Rub on a little dirt to blend it in & it's all natural & really fast.

Looks damn good amigo

I love your videos! I am an artist and sculptor of mainly wildlife, and I have been interested in taxidermy since I was a little kid. After watching your awesomely informative videos, I am going to mount my first deer very soon. As a sculptor, I would like to offer a couple of tips for rebuilding the broken antlers. I would use some 5 minute epoxy to "glue in" the wire armature into the base antler so it stays put for you. Then, after that is set and cured, wrap a small Guage wire around the thick armature wire...around and around, do it messily but tightly all the way to the tip and then back down to the base, criss crossing up and back and cut the thin wire off at the base and tuck the end in. This will give the apoxie sculpt something to adhere to and stop twisting around on the main wire. It will also keep the apoxie sculpt from sagging down while it is curing. I do this on the entire armature when creating a sculpture. It really helps, and I believe it will help you out a lot. Thank you for all of your hard work and sharing it all with us!

Man U are good I never thought it would turn out right if you didn’t know it was ever missing you wouldn’t know

Awesome job like aways

well done sir :)

There is no repairing, what it has it has when you shoot, it’s what it is!!!! lol Looks amazing tho!!!

This video may be long but it has the best advice in it.

I guess the antlers were broken before this Buck was shot weren’t they? Awesome job! Thanks for taking the time posting these. Have you ever had a matched set of shed antlers mounted on another head. Could you make a video of how you would do that? Thanks again!!

Casting tines for repair works great for me

I use fix it sculpt and it drys a bone white then I use minwax wood stain and just play with it till I get it matching good

I got this same epoxy but I didn’t see that brown colored one. Do you have have a link? Thanks for your videos man! Awesome work!

how about the brow tine repair cause they have groves and bumps thats what i would like to see done but i do like how you did the main beamand th claw very helpful.

I’d like to shoulder mount sheds. You know of a good way to mount sheds to the head? Was thinking of using Clay and apoxie sculpt…would that last you think since nothing would be screwed to the form?

Never understood why people like the antlers rebuild if they break off tines . I just like it to look like it when I shot it but that’s just me. Great job on doing it though

What color apoxie sculpt is best for deer antlers?Do you mix any colors with it before mixing?How do you get the repaired antler to look good(not repaired)??

Where are you finding the dark Apoxie sculpt putty? thanks

Start to finish this took 90 mins. And you’ve done it several times, so have probably picked up Speed through trial/error and experience. You have your base price mount- about what extra do you charge for a repair such as this ?

I have a set I shot this year needs repair. Would you contact me to see about shipping them to you? I like the video and like the work you did. I plan on European mounting it as well. Maybe have you do it all?

Matte or satin, I’m attempting this myself. Thx

Why would you do it that way? I take a point from another antler and attach with wire (like you do). Then you only have to patch at the joint. I use Sculpall 2 part epoxy. It is off white. Easier to make it darker than to make it lighter in color.

It would be nice if we could see what your doing all we can see is the mixing tray.

Next time superglue your wire into the antler first so it won't move around on you

I’m think about having a taxidermy do that to my biggest buck should I

He was a 10 but he broke a tine and some of his beam

You couldn't use an antler stain for that
