Thanks Alex, I think I will go ahead and raise it the $15 this year to make it an even $300 and than sit down next year and evaluate my price list again.

As for getting a Elk Mounted for $400 I haven't herd of a price that low. Heck let me lay out the cost off the top of my head real quick.

Form/Manikin $ 120.00 shipping included
Eyes$ $12.00
Clay, fiberglass resin,
screws, hanger, salt,
hide paste, paint$25.00
Tanning$65.00 - 80.00
-------------------
Total$232.00

Thats just for materials. You have to take into consideration Labor, Electric bill, Water bill, Rent, etc, etc. The taxidermist that mounts your Elk must not be worried about making a profit because he isn't making one.
