In November of 2003 I got lucky and connected on a 7pt buck with a 15" inside spread (biggest to date). After calling several local taxidermy shops I elected on going with Timberwolf. After dropping off my head and looking at his displays I chose a semi-sneak pose price was $325, I gave him $200 deposit. He informed me that it should be between 6 and 9 months. In that time frame I became friends with a local guy that knows this man he informed me that he was broke and couldn't afford the supplies to finish the job. Now being 2 1/2 years later I am in the process of taking him to court he doesn't return any calls and never answers his phone.

The help that I need is what would this deer's antlers cost if I needed to replace then it was a 7pt with 15" inside spread around 90" to 100" on the P&Y scale. What would a new cape cost being that mine was ruined (I was told that he lost a few capes due to power outage and mine was one of them that is why it is taking so long).

So after adding up what I am out $200.00 deposit, antlers, and cape.
what should be the amount that I take him to court for?

Thanks for all that helped I will keep you all posted.
