What do you recon is a reasonable and fair price for a Shoulder Chamois mount in 2024 in NZ
I was quoted $1900 and I almost choked on my Rice Crispies when I was told the price.
Perhaps thats reasonable though, it's been a few years since I last had one done...
Does seem steep, thats a going rate for reds around my area.
Sounds about right, average price for red stags are up around $2200-2500 now
Taxidermist prices have gone up some over the past couple of years, I've heard of several of the good ones that are charging around the $3000 for a red, and slightly less for a thar or chamois. But there are aslo a number taxidermists that look after the locals, pays to shop around, $18-1900 for a red with the right guys if youre local. $1900 for a non local for a chamois sounds like a bargain to me.
And most taxidermists are so busy that theyre not taking on any more work so they can ensure that they complete all the work that the guiding industry is providing.
