August 2024 Taxidermy quote **STICKER SHOCK**

[eatmore-pbj]

I just received a quote from a reptuable taxidermist in the northeast. There are others that I am contacting. Does some one have suggestions on another taxidermist from Maryland to New England area? I may have to take a chance and have them mounted in Africa and have them shipped. Here is the quote. Thank you.


Greater Kudu Shoulder Mount - $2,510.00
Zebra Pedestal Mount - $$3,750.00 plus the cost of the base. Base costs are determined by style and type of wood chosen.
Eland Shoulder Mount - $3,950.00
Gemsbok Shoulder Mount $2,100.00
Hartebeest Shoulder Mount $1,925.00

If you think that is sticker shock, wait until you get a shipping quote for full mounts from Africa….
@gizmo and his Top of Texas Taxidermy are a good reference for quality and pricing in the States.
This is the link to his price list so you can compare…

You beat me to it Mekaniks.

Not in your area, but I bet you could work something out with site sponsor @gizmo in Texas. Multiple posts of his work and would support one of our own.

Those are stupid prices. The thought process must be “ let’s double our prices and see if the sheep will pay it”

No thanks

I was thinking the same thing about shipping costs.

Those prices are very high. I can’t speak to a good taxidermist in your area but there are many good taxidermist in the USA and all of them will ship to you.

Erik Grimland who’s mentioned above is excellent.
