Where I live,it's anywhere from $300-$350 for a shoulder mount.

This same question was asked last year and if I remember correctly someone said as high as $500.00

RE: mounting prices
 

it depends on the shop you take it to.$350.00 to $500.00 is a ballpark. cheap is not always good on a mount.take a look around to see if your buddy's are happy with theres.look at some that is a few years old.some look great for a year,but look terrible in two years.

if you get that trophy,you don't want to spent a couple hunderd $$ now and have to trash it next year.a good trophy should last you a lifetime.
Good Luck on the BIIIIIIIIG 12 pointer.

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

RE: mounting prices
 

Where I took mine last year runs from 400 to 450. It all depended on the style of mount I chose. In our area you can get as cheap as 250 and I am sure it could have gotten more expensive. In some instances you get what you pay for...if it sounds to cheap, well it probably is. But don't get me wrong.....expensive doesn't always mean better. Do some research and even get some references from your taxidermist. If he is good he will have a some regular customers that will have mounts many years old.

There's n Amish guy near me who did my first buck last year for $240. I was skeptical at first but saw a few of his mounts and they were nice. He did an awesoem job on mine.

My taxidermist has last years buck right now and its going to cost 300$ for a shoulder mount.I was a little skeptical until I saw some of his mounts that other guys had and even more pleased when I saw some mounts in his shop.The guy I'm using is in NH,I'll let you know how it looks when I get it back next month.

RE: mounting prices
 

The guy who did mine just won the Virginia state taxidermist contest last year and her charges 300 to 450.

RE: mounting prices
 

Mine cost me $55... But I mounted it myself too, lol. There are a few taxidermists around here that have been doing them for years, and cost from $280-350 and thery're all quality mounts.
