It is good to find someone that loves their hobby/business and that is not just doing it for inflated prices
Taxidermists need to make a living too. Anyone mounting deer for $200-300 per head is either cutting major corners, or has another source of income. I don't know one single taxidermist that is wealthy from taxidermy alone. To think that $500-600 for a deer is inflated is absolutely rediculous. It's probably still less than most people here make.
I agree and find that $600 is fair for QUALITY work! I have been thru 4 different taxidermists, I'm sticking with the guy I use now!
