Average $550-$750 nowadays. The $400 days are over. Yep. I missed the $400 days completely due to a helluva drought on decent deer. My 10 point in 1992 was $250 by Rhett Kelly in Titus. My 8 point in 2020 was $6something by Will Foster in Montgomery. Now I did load up on ducks in the early 2000s and those were about $200 a pop.

I'm about to find out- will post the results of my price shopping. Expecting $600-700. Last one I shoulder mounted was $350 . Those Euro mounts will spoil you.

My Buddy and his son came back from illinois after the first shotgun hunt and stopped by Chocolocco Taxidermy and said that Allen has went up to 1100 for a midwest buck and a 1000 for an Alabama buck...  If some dumb sob is willing to pay it they’re going to ask it.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

A lot of the people in your area use Scott Cooper in Pensacola I assume you are talking about Chad Cooper? If so, his shop is up Jay, Fl now. He is the best around but will be close to $1k

I’ve got 3 from Choccolocco. It sounds to me like he is trying to retire or slow down the volume. His mounts look great andI’m sure some will keep paying it. Alan has mounted 3 for me as well. Last one cost around $500.

Yup. Shooting a buck in Texas can get expensive.

Guess I’ll be just swapping horns if I kill another mounter!! That’s crazy how much a shoulder mount cost these days.. There's a shoulder mount for sale in the classifieds for $40. Much cheaper option and one I've never thought of before.

Was an old man that was in one of those you shoot it ya have to mount it clubs, and he used to come by my Buddy's shop, and he'd always have him just swap out horns with an old mount 😄
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!
