Mount Cost??

Postby fightin' okra » Sat Jan 07, 2006 7:39 pm

I've never had a duck mounted before, but I killed a beautiful pintail this morning and was wondering about how much a standard mount cost? Also, any ideas on a good duck taxidermist around Madison County?

I believe I paid $175 for my pintail a few years ago. The guy I used is up here around Tupelo so not much help to you.

Heck, he brought by my house, let me look at, told me all about the kill, and then stored it in my freezer.

The kicker is he still hasn't taken me on a hunt. I just get to look at the death and destruction and keep it in my freezer :lol: .

There was a taxidermist in Cleveland that was very low on price compared to other taxidermist. He did good work. I can't remember his name. Back in 96 he was doing duck mounts for around $80. Anyone know who I'm talking about? :?

From all I have seen, Lovelace at Ellis Solomon's is one of the best. I have a greenie up there now, I think it is $150? But don't you want the best regardless?

Cole Davis in carrolton did a nice black duck for me last year for $165. I would like to find somewhere cheaper.

If it is important to you use a good taxidermist. Price almost equals quality. Pat Pitt in Olive Branch is great and decently priced somehow.
