RE: Mounts
This year the prices in S. NH varied from $450-$650 for a quality mount.
The $650 guy in my opion is with out a doubt the best and some people do not care about the price.
Just remember it's part of your decor, kind of like funiture...
If you buy a slapped together piece of furniture, it doesn't look as good and probably won't last as long either.
My mounts are a prized possession, but I chosethe $500 guy this year.I've used him for 23+ years with great results.
The $650 guy was just a little too much for me this year, but I can say the detail is absolutly grand!
