The Cedar Ridge Chronicles

Hey y’all! My name is Daniel Williams and I’d like to welcome y’all to my channel! After an aortic dissection in 2021 I made the decision to document and share my experiences as a full time taxidermist, hunter, and fisherman. I love to teach, so feel free to ask questions in the comments and I’ll do my best to help! It is free to subscribe, and by also ringing the notification bell you will get updates on all new content and can show your support free of charge just by watching! Thanks to everyone and as always, God bless!!!

    That's exactly right the way I do it what makes it better for me is I krowtan everything then when I get it all done I lay down clean it up to my flashing stretch out what I got there and then I measure my form put it back in the freezer and wake them up warm gets here I never had a problem that's just the way I do it I don't do a lot of deer heads so mostly for my friends and me

  • @dereksunday3883
    @dereksunday38837 күн бұрын

    I'm doing my first pack mount right now. Customer wants the mount to have the hide rolled up with the tail hanging out, so I have the whole thing here tanned, in house with pro 1 products. How would you roll it up so that the tail hangs out without detaching the head section from the cape? Looks like here that you have it all as one cape. Secondly, is it necessary to use the whole cape? My plans are to let it start drying after mounting the head and leave it spread out for a day or two before rolling up. Any advice here?

  • @dereksunday3883
    @dereksunday38837 күн бұрын

    really just debating on hacking off the cape as if it were a shoulder mount and roll it up. without cutting the head from the rest Im not sure how you'd do it. and then what do you do with the open neck?

  • @thecedarridgechronicles
    @thecedarridgechronicles7 күн бұрын

    I do cut the head off and leave about a foot of cape or so to tuck behind the roll. Also, I like to use the whole cape because it makes a nice large roll but make sure as it dries to stretch and break it so it can be rolled once it is dry

    Bucks making loops / circles ,is that a daily or seasonal behavior or how does that work and how do u actually try to set up to hunt a buck on the loop ? I've found that the bucks here in central north Carolina will make loops / circle , travel from one farm to the other and travel in circle until they get back to where they started from but this sometimes takes a day , night, days , weeks so I'm not sure how to actually know when or where to be and how to capitalize off this behavior... I don't use cameras !

  • @thecedarridgechronicles
    @thecedarridgechronicles14 күн бұрын

    Specifically rut movement and it could be days before making the loop. A month ago I did a podcast with The Southern Outdoorsman Podcast. On KZread the episode is 1 hour 45 minutes and is called “This will change the way you hunt deer”. This is specifically what I am talking about if you want to give it a listen. They made several shorter videos with that episode around the same time about rut loops, but you’ll want to hear the uncut version to hear the whole process. I think you’ll enjoy it and hopefully benefit from it.
