I shot a 10 point buck on the last morning of shotgun season! My first buck with gun or bow.
Though it's not huge, it is my first and I think I would like to have it mounted. My friends dad does mounts and my buddy had his dad to his buck and it looks great, he told me $400 for a mount. How's that sound? I've never had a mount done.

Good job Tye. $400 is the going rate, depending on your plaque.

Congrats Tye!! He's a nice buck. If the quality is there than that is a good price.
You can take the man out of the woods but you can't take the woods out of the man.

Thanks Chris.
Well his son's buck looks amazing, so I'm sure I wouldn't be disappointed. 400 is discounted price for me I think, because I know his son.

Congrats on your buck Tye .That price is about the norm ,some are higher and some lower .With taxidermy you get what you pay .I`ve seen some very bad mounts where the buck looked like it was crossed with a frog with the bugged out eyes .
