the elk i got last year i didn't mount but have decided now i would like to since its my first bull, what would that cost i have no cape

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #1 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:39:12 PM »

a pretty penny for sure

i am sure the taxis on here will tell you i would say 1000-1200 the cape i am sure would run about 200 or more

madmack76 · « **Reply #2 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:43:22 PM »

holy crap that's insane had it lined out before elk season, cause i had cow tags, to get a cow mounted it was only 400 wish i would of saved the cape but shot it right in the neck so that didn't happen o-well i guess

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

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.

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

madmack76 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:22:34 PM »

well then inform me whats the difference Ive heard them called both for 20 years I'm allways willing to learn something new

madmack76 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:26:35 PM »

besides were getting of topic here carp but i do want to understand your thinking is there

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:29:24 PM »

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.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:30:57 PM »

just trying to help you out, legaly it is a 4pt bull not a 2 point bull just trying to help you out

madmack76 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:33:47 PM »

yes butt at the same when i say a 4 point with doubles its gonna impress ya that much more i kinda see your point but that's the way i was brought up i guess we never count the (eyegaurds) as points except for the 3 point rule ya know

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:42:06 PM »

yes i know what you are saying just trying to help people learn, as well. and in the wardens eyes they are a legal point. so good 4 you on your first. my first was a bull calf but it was with a bow

madmack76 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 13, 2010, 09:47:09 PM »

gotcha carp thanks

BLKBEARKLR · « **Reply #19 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:41:11 PM »

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.

Joe

madmack76 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:45:10 PM »

YES!

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.

grundy53 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 14, 2010, 08:14:54 AM »

different strokes for different folks.
