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!

Good point. The taxidermist needs to be able to back up the price with top quality work.

I don't think that I would actually use someone that only charged me $300 for a Shoulder Mount, but thats just me!:eek: I also like the fact that my Taxidermist doesn't even want a deposit, now thats confidence! He had my 4 African Mounts hanging on the wall before he even mentioned a deposit!

Here in my area of Arkansas $350 is about as high
as avery goodshoulder mount gets.All the Taxidermist
i know make very good money!It's hard work but
they make a good Living if there good and fast.

A friend of mineis one of the Taxidermist in my area
he can mount 3/5 deer a week.And they look very
Good.We hunt together in IL when we go up there
we pick up ALOT of Animals.Because guys up there
don't want to pay $500+ when they can pay $350 for
just as good of work.

BlueRanger1,

If people are willing to pay $500-$600 for a mount then that is what they aregoingto charge. I also know of taxidermist inthe south and southeast that provide great mounts for $350-$450 tops and these are people that do this for a living and live fairly well. They also love what they are doing.
