Thread: Taxidermy costs

Does anyone know the price of game birds ( duck and pheasant ) to taxidermy
Also how much would a goat or deer cost

Most places have price listed, Do your home work on who use.

Work on 2-2.5k for a red.

I have had quite a few heads done over the last 20 years. Price doesn’t always reflect the job you get. Some operators have an excellent reputation and have more work than they can cope with. They calibrate this by charging more.
I have had heads done by taxidermist without the 5 star reviews and had very competent work done. What I have found though is some taxidermist do more of one breed than another and truly capture the essence of the breed. Especially the more unusual breeds like Rusa, sambar and say whitetail.
The thing with taxidermy you don’t really know how good it is for 20 years. It’s like rust repairs on your car. Looks good when you pick it up but what about 10 years time.

4Real Taxidermy TGA out the gate quality service and prices good bloke too

Southcity is absolutely right. Heres my 10 inch Cham done by the legendary Terry Jacobs way back in 1982. If I took it off the wall and gave it a vacuum, you'd think it was a couple of years old. That man was a truly skilled craftsman

you know a point about putting heads up on the wall - full mounts are in many respects an American idea - photos of European castles stately homes etc shows that just skull and antlers are more the norm - just simply hung up on wall - even in that dysfunctional British familys castles (Balmoral etc) just skull and antlers - whole corridors with dozens up -and a lot of the heads are not very good -Germans seem to like a nice wooden shield behind the skull - just saying as most of that one can do yourself
