Post by: Michelle_Nelson on December 13, 2007, 02:26:06 PM: I would have to say no to that! Though they do get done. Not a whole lot of taxidermists will ever do an elaphnat.

Or try clicking on the little globe under my avatar pic. Than click on price list. :)

Thanks
Title: Re: 2008 Price List
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on December 27, 2007, 08:55:21 PM: Honestly it depends on how many deer I bring in. Also what order I receive yours.

I try to have all Deer Shoulder Mounts done with in 9 months of receiving them.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on December 27, 2007, 09:06:54 PM: :) Alright, let me take a look at it. Move some stuff around and see if that doesn't fix anything.

Post by: wastickslinger on December 27, 2007, 09:15:38 PM: I really want a turkey done this spring. I usually shoot a good one and say i am going to have it done and never do. I hope this is the year of the turkey for me. Do you use the real head or an artificial? I would love to see a turkey or two that you have done. Prices look real fair. With a strutting one, do you use a pedistle type base with vegitation? Is that included or extra?

Thanks,
Slinger

Always use a real turkey head. You don't get the detail with a reproduction head.

A basic base comes with the Turkey. Base with dirt, leaves, and a little grass is mainly what I do. Not quite sure what you have in mind.

Post by: wastickslinger on December 27, 2007, 09:59:21 PM: Not sure what I have in mind yet. I will think about for the next few months. I just wanted to know basics. I know that any extra always cost a bit more and that is fine.

Some taxis use a fake head and I really like the real heads better if they are done right. Good to know. You might be getting a call from me.

Thanks.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on December 28, 2007, 02:38:41 PM: Everyone has their own way of painting thier turkey heads. What looks realistic to one taxidermist may not look quite right to 1/2 dozen others and vis versa.

I asked Michelle that a while back, not sure where the post is though, you might do a search because she did answer it.
Title: Re: 2008 Price List
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on August 30, 2008, 04:30:49 PM: I've never made a coon skin hat. Guess I could do it though. I am pretty handy with a sewing. Though I am not sure what I would charge. :dunno:
