My taxi is $460.00. Around here you can go from $300.00 to $550.00

You get what you pay for.

My taxi charges $350.00 here in central IL which is pretty cheap. However, he does some of the best work around.

I'm paying $400 for mine this year. This is a discount because my best friend apprenticed with him a few years ago, normally he charges $475. We also bring him all our buck capes from 2.5+ year old bucks so that he has spares, he really appreciates this and remembers it when it's time for us to get something mounted.

400-450 seems like a fair price around here...
