Thread: Taxidermy costs

Well if a typical shoulder mount takes about 20 hours to do @ about $60 hr for labour, (because it is a skilled job). That's not counting the cost of the form (whether bought or home made), glass eyes, tanning, hide paste, paints etc etc etc.... The cost mounts up.... no pun intended One thing I've noticed about many hunters is that they spend a fortune on gear, but want the cheapest taxidermy, tanning and butchery.... Sure everyone wants good value, and that's fair enough. But usually; quality costs.....
