Do a little checking sometimes you can find a good cheap cape and then the taxi bill is cheaper if you have a cape that is ready to go
If it aint broke, dont fix it.

First off how big is your elk?  Got any photos?

I charge between $750 - $900 for an Elk Shoulder Mount.

The size and what I pay for the cape dictates the price.  Also if I have to buy a cape from another taxi.  Typically between $125 - $300 for the cape.

Do a little checking sometimes you can find a good cheap cape and then the taxi bill is cheaper if you have a cape that is ready to go

Make sure you get all the hunters and tag information with any cape you buy.

Hunters Name,
Hunters Address,
Wild ID #,
Doc # off ELk Tag,
GMU and County killed,
Date Killed

when you say doubble eye gaurds that is not right because they are 2 diffrent normal points the 1st and the 2nd points. the first tine can be called eye gaurds but that is a deer hunters term for elk tines. i was just pokin fun but now you know you will sound allot better calling him a 4pt bull and that is allot better than saying a 2pt bull. hope this helps matt.

750.00 for mount,

I have a nice tanned cape that would be an extra 125.00.

It came off of a 4x4 bull elk last sep, couple little fighting scars on the side of it.

So all together 875.00 + tax.

I've never heard of anyone regardless of where they are from refer to a seperate count of eyeguards or browtines on a bull elk.
If  that was a whitetail then that would be a 8 pointer...but it's an elk, so it's a 4x4 bull.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
