I finally got around to talking to the taxidermist on how much the bird was going to cost me. $475.00 plus $40.00 for the tree limb![] I think I' ll go back to shooting jakes.
How much have you guys spent on some of the animals you had mounted??

I had my son' s first turkey (a very nice one--25 1/2 lbs) full body mounted for $350 a few years back. Yours is a great bird, so it is probably well worth the $. But I hope you have a place for it. Ours is a great " dust collector."

That sounds about right! I think its well worth the money to mount such a trophy. Sure its a little steep in price, but id spend that much on a turkey.
The guy I that is doing my bird from last year charges closer to $500.00. Sure there are a few taxidermist around cheeper but thier work wasn' t as good either.

I had one mounted back in 1998 it cost me $325 and i was thinkin of gettin another one done and i was talking to the taxidermist that did my first one and the price went up to $500,I guess one turkey mount is enough for me.
Holy Cr#$ , How Much ????
