BowJoe Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 What's a good price for a standard deer mount and what influences prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Re: Prices Here they range from $350-$550. Quality is the main influence of price. There are alot of shadetree taxidermist's that charge less, but a reputable taxidrmist will cost you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rifleman25 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Re: Prices 350.00 - 550.00 around here. I had a guy do one for 250.00 once and it now smiles at me because the lips came unglued. A little extrat will make you alot happier in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinsonovagun Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Re: Prices $250-$350 around here. Don't go solely on price tags....I know taxi's around here that charge a lot, but that doesn't meant they do good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkrie1357 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Prices Cheapest isn't always the best! Need I say More. How would you like to have this on your wall & knowing you spent good money on it, then having to look at it every day to keep reminding You Cheapest isn't always Best!!!! You get what you pay for most of the time! How fitting this post is UP. A friend just sent me this Pic. it is suppose to be a joke I hope, But maybe not, I'd hate to think I tried to save a few dollars every time I looked at this. Don't be Cheap on Yourself. Do it RIGHT! Or don't do it at all. You Owe it to Yourself. Glad this wasn't Mine!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scraper Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Prices lol....that yote mount looks like a do-it-yourself weekend warriors handywork.

TexasDeerHunter Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Prices Another thing to consider is what that taxidermist specializes in. Some are good on deer but not on birds , fish , or small game. Check out some of their work before choosing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Re: Prices Be cautious with any price under $300.00. Gas prices and new EPA laws is what not influences prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Re: Prices i spent 750.00 on my 9 point, most taxidermist have a display room that you can look at the work he's done, most will give you ref of peoples deer they've done also, the one that did mine went to collage to learn and thats all he does to make a living.

timberlandtaxi Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Re: Prices I charge $425.00 for shoulder mount. expect to pay at least this for a quality mount. ALWAYS look at several shops to find one that has the quality your looking for and it's sometimes better to leave your deer at home until you have made your desicion so your not tempted to leave it somewhere before you have seen all of your choices. www.timberlandtaxidermy.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberlandtaxi Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Re: Prices Thanks, I accually mounted this deer on a regular semi sneak right turn and had to alter it to a sweeping right turn w/ the head up. This way my customer gets a totally unique mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberlandtaxi Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: Prices Sounds like a bad deal. It's always good to check with a few references before leaving your animal(s). When dealing w/ a trophy of a lifetime I would suggest to get the very best taxidermist you can afford. Do your research, look at several shops, call references and veiw their work, and most importantly don't just take Joe Every-man's word for it. The sweetness of low cost will soon fade, while the bitterness of poor quality will always remain. This thing has to hang in your house for the rest of your life, wouldn't it be nice if it looked good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes the best around and has awards and such. My fish i send to texas to get my replicas back. I like to keep my big fish in the lake. Yes i pay more but its worth it. All my mounts and dads mounts are awsome. Joel stone does such a good job my lab When she was 8 weeks old chewed the head and wing off his first turkey that is a big tom. He patched it up nice. Neake eye never know it was messed up (if your wondering we were building our game room so they where setting in the bacement wne she got it.)
