Correct! I cannot remember the guys name but he worked with Joe for a few years before he took over for him, this will be the first one he has done for me. Joe did great work !mossy grove did mine as well. it used to be run by joe lane. joe is a good guy. they still do my processing. not sure who is doing the mounts now
I don't know George and I mean nothing negative to him but $350 is ridiculously cheap, to the point where George is on the verge of paying you to mount your deer. Material cost have skyrocketed, between mannikin cost and shipping he has close to $100 in just the base form, add in eyes, eyeliners, paint, bondo, etc…poor George is working for less than minimum wage.George Byrd in Norma does really nice work.
He's $350 for a shoulder mount.
Bobby does really good work and has been doing it a looooong time.Bobby Humphreys off of Asheville Hwy. I am thinking its around $600-650
My uncle has been a taxidermist for 16 or 17 years now. I remember he started at $280 and even then he was on the low side of what others were charging. Every year he has to go up he calls me to vent about it and is just scared to death he's going to lose business and tank. Seems like he's had to go up $10 or $20 at least every other year and I think is now at $420. I still think he's low compared to the quality of work he does but he will pinch every penny for himself that way his prices stay below the others around. Everyone around within a 150 mile radius of him is $500-$600. But it's sure paid off for him because he has a very good business he's built up.I don't know George and I mean nothing negative to him but $350 is ridiculously cheap, to the point where George is on the verge of paying you to mount your deer.

Your getting one heck of a deal.
If youre willing to go up to scott county, See George Byrd. He's mounted many a deer for me and never broke the bank.Grandson shot a buck and mamaw wants to get it mounted for him, looking for the best deal not a world renowned artist lol
