Default Whitetail deer rugs

I am looking for taxidermists and prices where I can have a deer rug made. I would like the antlers to still be attached to the rug. I have done the original shoulder mounts and the European mounts on some of my bucks but was thinking about other ways to display my tropy. Well...first of all, I need to get another trophy! My fingers are crossed for next bow season!

Any info on prices or if you have any photos, that would be great too.

Thanks!

Keep in mind that a deer's winter fur is hollow and if this rug will be walked/sat on then the hairs will break off and the rug will deteriorate.

Make sure you contact your taxidermist beforehand and ask how he wants the deer to be dressed out. He may even want to do it.
