best taxidermist and average cost?
« on: August 06, 2014, 11:53:20 AM »
 :hello: what is the best taxidermist you ever went to in Washington (preferably in western Washington) and how much did it cost or say the average cost.
I will be hunting white tail, maybe mule deer. If I get a deer it will be my first one so I would like to get it "framed" but I don't know how much it will cost. Thanks! :IBCOOL:

Nature's Way!  If you were to stop by his shop and see his work in person you wouldn't want to go anywhere else!  Very fair prices and top notch work.

Nobody has mentioned any prices yet.... I think 400-600 for deer and 700-900 for elk. Haven't 'needed' any work lately but I know material prices keep rising.

For prices call each taxidermist. Their cost of doing business rise every year and they may or may not decide to pass those costs on each year.
