elk mount

[madmack76]

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]

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]

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

  :chuckle:ROFLOL same thing my butt

[madmack76]

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

[madmack76]

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

[carpsniperg2]

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.
