So what did you spend on a deer mount this past season?

[ATbuckhunter]

I paid 600 two years ago for mine. The place I went to for my first two mounts charged 495, but they increased it to 550 and their skill didn't match the price so I decided to pay extra for a much better mount. If I ever get another deer over 130, ill get a pedestal mount done

Best make sure you follow the CWD rules and interstate transport. We see alot (relatively speaking) of checks along the 90 corridor and offshoots during November. Interestingly we saw a few instances of the DEC doing ridealongs with the troopers on 90 in NY. PA had "pull over" check ins.

No brain matter....

Your OH and KY deer will have to be caped in the state they are killed in with skull plates removed on site.

Already planning on packing everything in the truck to take care of caping, skull plates, measurements, and bringing back any meat on ice if need be. likely just get meat processed there.  logistics suck to have it mounted there. i can do everything but i have someone else to remove the cape who's done it a lot before. tear ducts and all kinds of stuff I can screw up otherwise.

Luckily for you your partner in crime is an eagle scout and he says he's really good at sharpening knives! Lol

I prefer to do all of my caping with a regular old xacto knife.

the person who would be capping my heads that's with me is my cousin. that's what he said to use and after him walking me through a couple it makes sense. he changes blades more than I felt was probably necessary but it seemed to work well and he does it. I've only done a few with assistance.

I paid 743 for a wall pedistal.

I think I paid 130.00 for the Euro... The hanger was 30 bucks, but I had to have it.

$1800 for a Bear Rug 2020 season.

Material costs/shipping rates have gone up across the board. My prices went up from last year as a result. I have already hit my max quota of what I want to take in with a month of season to go...

Gas for my power washer  was cheap last year, so “joe” (top right) was less than $ 5.   This year will be a good bit more.

are those monsters back yet??

I did!!! Not the best pics, I didn’t take any before putting them on the wall. I plan on pulling them down over the Christmas break and measuring them.
