The high three hundreds to the mid $400's around here.

here in ohio i go to RICKBUSSE"S WILDLIFE STUDIO $ 448.00 and up

Around here a plain ole' semi-sneek is around $380. Mine ran $425 though because I used a different form. The left shoulder actually goes against the wall instad of the back of the mount.

Did it myself for about $75

around here 300 min 400 max

In NJ the price goes from $350-$500 for average work. There are one or two guys who's work is so high quality that the price is $650-$700. Prices are high here for everything!
I've got four deer mounted. Someone said earlier in this post that one should shop around by quality, not price. He's right!
I went by price in my earlier years because I thought it silly to pay $400 when I had someone for $250.My best buckmount looks like a $250 mount! Hind sight is always 20/20!!!The eyes lack the realism andthe ears are starting to lose shape. A real nice MT. whitetail too!
If I get a buck worth mounting now, I'll spend the money!!

vb40 Joe is one of the best in the world as you know... He is charging $575 and worth every penny in my opinion.

He has done all of mine...

Joe Meder work

Those are some really nice!!!!! Whitetails, Limb Chicken! Your wall of fame is the envy of many I'm sure.
From the looks of it, he's worth every penny!

I'm paying $450 for mine this year. I called several places in MO and the range was $350-$550.

Seems like the average is around $400. I agree that you get what you pay for. After having two mounted I decided not to do any more unless I get something REALLY big. Too much money and take up lots of room. To each their own...good luck finding a taxidermist. There are lot's of good ones to pick from.
