Guest bigbucks125 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 just curious to see how much everyone pays for their heads. the guy that we take ours too is retired but he still does taxidermy. i have yet to kill a wall hanger but my dad has killed 8. this guy has a huge shop very cool to see. but his deer mounts are $280 and they are far and away the best in the area. people come from some far places to have him do their mounts. so im just curious to see how much you guys pay. (I am trying to get pictures of my dads deer heads that this guy does, so i will try to possibly post some) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParrotHead2005 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: how much are you guys paying for head mounts I just found this guy on the internet in Northern IN. Coal Hollow Tax. He is 250. I shipped my deer to him for 21. It will be done by March. He is 100 to 200 cheaper than anyone around me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was pretty cheap compared to some places around here. He does do excellent work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: how much are you guys paying for head mounts $317 for mine, being done by one of the biggest named places around here. I called around, $275-$365. Figured at that price, I would go with them www.terrystaxidermy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesVee Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: how much are you guys paying for head mounts wow, I dont' know how your guys' taxidermists make any money charging prices as low as $200. I paid somewhere around $550 apiece last year, and heard the price was jumping another quarter to $575 this next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Re: how much are you guys paying for head mounts I pay between $200 and $250 for mounts usually. The guy I go to is usually at least $100 cheaper than anybody else in the area. He actually does 350 mounts or more every year, so he can afford to do them at a lower cost.
