Fan Mount
 

Anyone ever had a turkey fan mounted by a professional taxidermist? If so, about how much did it cost? Just curious.

Beard and tail on a plaque $80.00

Do it yourself. It's a piece of cake!;)

I do, I'm going to start doing them for other people. Wanted to know how much people would be willing to pay.

Apparently $80.00 isn't out of the question!;)

i had mine mounted professionally for$125but it had the wings included in the mount also.

Looks really good! These are also a piece of cake, once you do a couple. The taxidermist probably had about $25.00 in material on that mount!

that mount looks really good.

Apparently excaliber has never purchased the panel shown in the picture above because they price at $33-36 depending on the supplier, than you have to add shipping. Where do you get $25 for material? I wouldn't do it for less than $80 unless you don't plan on paying yourself for your work.

Yes I have several times. These panels are made by The Country Woodsman who lives in Carrollton Ohio. I just drive up and get them.Other than the panel, all you have is a couple of wires, some borax anda little Apoxie.Yes I agree, some sell for more and maybeI was a little hasty in my price quoting. I'm not saying that you are charging too much, you should charge what you think it is worth by all means. Im just saying that if an avid hunter would take the time to see how easily it is made, they could save themselves a bunch of money by doing it themselves. That's what got me into taxidermy in the first place. However, if they would rather pay someone to do it, that's what us taxidermists are for.
