RE: Prices of mounts in your area.
 

The taxidermist we use are russian masters. They do the international competitions and have taken 1st every year since they began in '97. We pay about 900 for a Mule deer that is turned. and about 1200 for a bull elk. 350 for fox w/pheasant. They are worth every cent and a 3 year wait.

I dont know how you guys can wait 3 years before you get your mount back, thats insane. The guy that mounts most of my stuff does over 400 deer mounts each year and normally has a 4-6 month turn around. He charges $450 for a competition buck mount. He does the best work of anybody that I know of in south Texas. The other 2 guys that I take my stuff to are in San Antonio and Houston. These taxidermist will mount anything for you. The guy who mounts 400 deer heads each year, will also have around 300 mounts of other animls from around the world that he will do each year. Last time I was in there he was finishing up some mounts for some big shot that went to Africa on a 2 month long safari. He had a total of 23 animals that he was getting mounted, including a shoulder mounted elephant, 4 cape buffalos, and a half life size giraffe. Here are there websites if you want to check out there work.

In Wyoming prices are steep , local deer is around 650+ and elk would easily be 1000, i got a 6x6 elk and ended up european mounting it because of the prices, im learning to do it myself so i dont have to do that to another beautiful elk[:@]

Last years pronghorn is costing me $330.00 for a head mount. Shipped to my door from Newcastle Wyoming. I'll post a pick when it is back, should be around October or so.
