the guy that I go to and the one that is teaching me to mount animals only charges 300. Then if you want it to face a certain way, an open mouth, ect, he doesn't charge extra for. He does it for a hobbie, last year he did over 100 deer. sounds to me like I need to drop out of college and just become a fulltime taxidermist. 100 deer x 300= 30,000/year. Just for working abotu 5 months out of the year. heck, when I become a game warden I won't even be making 25,000 per year. Oh me.
