Great answer! Most taxidermists aren't charging enough and are barely making it paycheck to paycheck. They have no retirement plan, no insurance, and no savings. Most have no business sense.I don't know howa full time taxidermistcan charge less than $400 without cutting corners. I only do it as a hobby for friends and family, and I'm still more expensive than what many of you are paying. I just won't lower my quality of life so everyone else can maintain theirs. I have bills and a family too. Taxidermy is still a luxury item. Each person has to decide what it's worth for them.

Because it takes time and people will pay for the work. Same reason free land is now hunted at Dollars per acre..... someone will pay it.

I am so thankful to have my taxidermist around, I am not entirely sure of the price of a deer shoulder mount now, Rybo has one their now so he could say for sure, but I believe it to be around $320, not only that, but he does great work, and usually your mount is done within 3-4 months. I have a coyote getting a full body mount done with a base right now and that cost me $390. God, I love that guy :D
