I don't hunt myself, but I've heard good things about AZAC's in Ashland City.

I got mine done at Phillip's Taxidermy in Clarkrange, about three years ago. The prices then were $165 each, which I thought was very reasonable. I don't know if the price has changed or not. Just be sure to look at some of their work before you make any decisions. Here's mine........

That seems to be a good price and turnaround. Most places now a days are 300-500 for a shoulder mount.

I had mine mounted and cost me 250 and took about 4 months to get back. So yeah thats not bad.

I had Browns in Goodlettsville do all of mine. I have had 3 done and my Dad has also had 3 done by him. I think he does great work. I havent had anything done in few years but mine were $350 for a shoulder mount.

Being a Taxidermist myself, March is not unreasoanable. My usual "turnaround" time was 30-45 days. I would however, tells folks (everyone) that it would take 4-6 months. I did this because no matter what you told someone, they would call all hours of day or night, and only two weeks later just to see "if by some chance their deer was done". Some Taxidermists I know give a one year turn-a-round time just to stop the constant calling. Taxidermy is a very time consuming job, and drying times (based on weather) could really delay your mount. Plus, if you are the type that tends to be a pain in the "you know what"..many, many more weeks are added! Be patient with your Taxidermist. He or she is only one person. That one person is dealing with "hundreds" of hunters. Not just you! Going rate for a deer head right now (based on material cost) should be about $250.00
