2 fox
#1
Shot 2 red fox last night with the HMR, I was actually hunting for yote ; but hey I'm an opportunist too.
One was just cruisin the woodline , never saw me @ 50 yds.
Bout an hour later I spotted the second one moving through an apple orchard stopped him and called him in to about 70 yds.
Any way, two very handsome critters, I'm thinking of getting them mounted for the man cave, got 2 prices so far; 750 for a single , 1200 for the pair from one taxidermist, & 275 each from another..
pretty big difference between them.
What you all think a fair price should be?
Hold my mancard, I'll post some pics later on.

If they guy is going to do some great craftsmanship to the mounts, price is worth it...
If he just going to mount them like stick figures standing there... ask about backdrop, terrain, other things...
If he is going to mount them on a pedastool, one crouched, and the other with a slight leap, after a pheasant...
and the complete mount looks good...
Its worth the money...
Bottom line... thats whay good taxidermist have show rooms... look at their stuff and go from there...
Your the judge.. once it leaves his shop... " he cant see it from his house..."
