Serving the capital region or anyone willing to travel to Troy/Brunswick. This is year 4 for me and I think I finally have a vague idea of what I'm doing now! I'll be doing standard deer shoulder mounts for $350 this year. Specialty poses might cost a little more depending on the price of the form. Euro's will be $75. Have some experience with other critters too. Spent the first 3 years mounting animals in my living room but now it's time to take it to the next level. Can't wait to see what you guys bring me! But most importantly... shoot straight and have fun making meat and memories! Here's some of my work: fb8e5d5cdb9009d0e20fc8842cff1de5.jpg48d4086c38a2ff4abddc01e92d9980ea.jpgf8539df4b9b784f9500159ba4598a741.jpgd977ca51ad7be3c0e467589454a1ebd8.jpgc140ebae490b85b625e9380855e1c7d9.jpgc3de9b1906be6de5131f954c23325fab.jpga6d682e6fa34b7e952e4f51a676f2fd3.jpgc8da6cd19b68ebe295cd4475a5f55f83.jpg00a2cb06f7eb3958c800ee000b0a96ba.jpg9d16b5b4a4e9eaaebba63fbff5dc234d.jpg5ecd21f30ce88ad71331914d59b7a58b.jpgdabd512cf784f12236a3e6f5316ea070.jpg94e20ea438c9dfd84d6603c1dd4137c5.jpg68636910a6b15a702903cd1a31a51173.jpg307e1c8c2ff558b7684997fe251568fa.jpg2bfa45ddb8d3e92fcf0946af494589f0.jpg2249e8c5a0ad36da69887c8229a9a66c.jpg7bfc4f6a8ba3ca8624565d9ea48f492b.jpg4d5bda28e83b0c120f34de6289055c3c.jpg30375a37da9bfcb4efd396e3fc078f44.jpg77650586cbf35c3b084b7f2dbb4a0c52.jpg7ecdfcb492ff66bca3006902456faf65.jpge699af1928d8cfbbd36ff6e877fbb6ae.jpg

No offense but…..

You should charge more, especially the shoulder mounts. It gives you the margin you need to spend just a little extra time when you need to and gain a little profit for better equipment and supplies.

When I ran my woodshop, I always charged too little thinking it would gain me customers. Guess what? It gave me customers always looking for a bargain, and when finally raised prices to actually try and make a better go of it, all I had is cheapo’s looking for a deal. 

Have confidence in your work, its good; mount less heads, but make more money from each one. AND you can fiddle more on the details cause your time is being paid being an artist and having fun.

JMO.

Yea you make a good point but I still feel I'm not quite at that professional level to be charging professional prices just yet. Gonna raise them every year for the next few seasons.
