RE: deer mounts
Expect to pay $500, for a standard shoulder, from the best award winning taxidermists in this area of west central IL. There are a LOT of $250 taxidermists but you get what you pay for. Remeber that once that deer is mounted YOU have to look at him for the rest of your life!

RE: deer mounts
There's a guy around here that does quality work and charges $175.00. He just lives out in the country and doesn't advertise. He mostly does all the locals work for them and not much else and gets it back to you in a month or two.

RE: deer mounts
I just got my 2003 buck back. $395.00 14 months! It takes time to tan those capes. Too fast and they will start to shed a few years down the road! You have the rest of your life to look at that mount it's worth the extra time and money to get the best job possible!
