Cue the pics of the bobcat mounts. IMHO if it is a deer that is worthy of a mount then it is worth getting someone that does a very good job. Those guys will not be affordable (cheap). If not get a skull mount and be happy with it.

Truth...last I checked, shoulder mounts are like $750-1000 these days. I only have one shoulder mount, that I had done in 2014, but I think I paid like $350 for it. That guy doesn't do taxidermy anymore, though, after he got hammered on a bunch of felony poaching violations in WY a few years ago. My deer still looks good, though laugh

Greasy cove in Altoona. Or Scott donner in ohatchee if he still does it. I switched to greasy cove when I moved up to Sardis and he does good work. Last one he did for me a couple of years ago was 325. He does taxidermy full time.

Guy here does solid work for $550 - but many are $700 and up

Got another guy to do my recent skull. My skull mount a got back in a freaking days time was $75 and nice - this same guy does $375 mounts but i can vouch for that - but his $75 dollar skull with a day turn around is as good as any i seen

I haven't killed anything worthy of a shoulder mount. I do have several euro skull mounts that I paid 125 for and they take up less room

Most of the bucks I kill get a European from Cuz Pat on here. Patton’s European mounts. I have one shoulder mount done within the past 5 years and Joel Stone did it. With both types of mounts, I pay what it costs and don’t bat an eye. You get what you pay for with taxidermy

Joel was the best. He retired after many years of it. Talked to him the other day and he is enjoying retirement.

Does anyone know if Joel's son does a good job? I think I heard he took over the business part time. I have three shoulder mounts from Joel and he did an excellent job.

I couldn’t say I’ve seen his exact work but I know he worked with his dad for many years so I’m guessing he does as good as his dad.

To the op, when it comes to taxidermy, here’s a general rule which also applies to most things in life. There’s good, cheap, and fast. You can pick two but never all three.

From what I understand he is doing some deer heads.part time because he has a full time job. He is not working out of Joel's old shop.

Josh stone is just as good as his father. They have done 12 mounts for me over the years. Josh is back doing taxidermy full time. If you want a quality product that will last a life time give him a call. Personally I won’t use anyone else.

Scott Donner still does mounts. I dropped him off the other day. Thanks for the recommendation.
