Thread: Taxidermy costs

4Real Taxidermy TGA out the gate quality service and prices good bloke too

Southcity is absolutely right. Heres my 10 inch Cham done by the legendary Terry Jacobs way back in 1982. If I took it off the wall and gave it a vacuum, you'd think it was a couple of years old. That man was a truly skilled craftsman

$2300 for a fallow as I just won 1 over the weekend

I had my moose mounted but I haven’t got it on the wall yet. Needs a certain amount of Space!

Fantastic bull. Congrats.
Canada or Alaska ? Russia perhaps ...?
Which taxidermist did you choose for your work ?

Northern BC. On the Yukon Border. Horse back hunt. I got the Taxidermy done in Canada. Shipped it with my goods back to NZ as I was living there. Most recently though I have been using Big Game Taxidermy in Christchurch ( he’s moved to Kaikoura.). I’ve had him do 2 fallow, 1 chamois, and a Ram.

What an awesome bull. You could loan it to a Hunting/gun store for them to display then we can all pop in to see it

One of the most incredible experiences in my life. At the time wondered if it was money well spent. It was way beyond my expectations. I intend to have it hanging with many other memories in my mancave in the future. If any of you are considering a moose or sheep hunt just throw caution to the wind and do it.

$2300 is that just for the head?

For a shoulder mount

Are you sure about that Micky Duck? That doesn't seem right, I can't imagine the cost was anywhere near that 36 years ago. I had my big red done by Vern in Taupo in 2001 and that was only $700 then and that included him supplying the head skin which was $50 from memory.
