Well my Dad is a taxidermist so let just say my cost is minimal at best. But with that said, I don't a specific size but usually it depends on the animal and the hunt. I don't shoot small deer, less than 125 so I guess maybe size is a factor. I have only mounted one deer killed with a gun and that was 18 years ago. Mostly bowhunt now, other than an occasional muzzleloader. Still waiting for one with the muzzleloader. I even had Dad mount a doe one year that I finally killed after hunting her 7 years, that one had gotten personal. She had cost me a few shots at good bucks.
