how much is it to get a deer head or elk head stuffed?
#5
how can it range in that big of a price? what are the differences?
I've seen deer heads range from $300-600 and elk are significantly more.
The range he gave you was between the cheapest deer and most expensive elk. It's like you asked how much it costs to buy a car. While the Ford Focus and Mercedes 600 are both cars, they will vary in price quite a bit - like $100,000.
It also depends on your geographic location and the quality and reputation of the taxidermist.

I guess not one wants to come clean! I've been in the taxidermy business for thirty years, if I could get 800.00 for a shoulder mount deer i would because i think thats what my taxidermy and time is worth, But I can't, every local economy is different.
With that said i think NO one should overcharge for a basic shoulder mount, the answer you're looking for is as varied as opinions on gun/ammo discussions.
Find a local taxidermist in your area and compare prices.
I charge 475.00 and everyone is happy!

My taxidermist here in Colorado charges $575 for deer and from $900-$1200 for elk depending on size for his shoulder mounts. For an open mouth (bugling) on elk you will have to add on another $150.
Here is the work he has done for me.
