How can I get it mounted?
« on: December 30, 2009, 11:24:14 PM »
I have a set of Whitetail antlers (7x6) that my dad shot back in the 70's and I am toying with the idea of getting a shoulder mount done. I do not have a cape for it, how would I go about getting one and then having it mounted? Estimated cost for everything? Thanks for the help...Scott

Figure about $50-75 for a cape, then what ever your taxidermist costs.  That is a guess on the cape cost, but it's about that for a mulie.  Should be similar

about average you are looking at 450-500 for a deer shoulder mount then the cape any taxi should be able to get for you without a problem will cost about 75.00 so that should get you a soild guess on total price.

$485.00 for the mount, $125.00 for the cape, and 7.9% sales tax = $658.00, and thats a quote from me, a taxidermist  ;)

A good cape is over $100 averaging around $100-150 now,  as stated by the taxidermist

I can get awesome whitetail capes for around 80.00, they come from Wisconsin I can usually get up to 21 inches at that price. I charge 425.00 plus cape of 80.00 and tax. Hope that helps you

For a shoulder mount your looking at $475.  An average cape right around $125.  Plus what charlie said with the 7.9% sales tax.
