Whats the going rate right now for a shoulder mount?

I dropped one off 2 weeks ago. 2 years ago it was $450 it's now $550 with $300 upfront.
A deer head is a lot like a tattoo it really only means something to the person who got it.
I believe you should mount your first deer and then your best deer although eventually your best deer won't be the best deer anymore and you need to make space on a wall

Lol on Woody's. He is cheap but his work lacks the spark of the more expensive taxidermists. He did my dad's shoulder mount in the 90s. It actually looks ok.

I got my first buck mounted by him back then and it still looks damn good for $175. I took another there back in the early 2000’s when his son started to take over and it looks like absolute shit and think he was charging $250 back then. They used some dry tanning chemical that was “quick and easy” and had them knocked out in 3 weeks.
