500-750 and I’d question someone who said they could do it for a whole lot less than that and stay in business.

My taxidermist sends the heads off to be freeze dried, which is supposedly preferred to just putting a plastic head on there. But I’m no expert in taxidermy. Gary Hubbard mounted my turkey years ago. He told me that freeze drying was the only way to make it look realistic. After more than 30 years, mine still looks like it's flying away. You made the right choice. I have seen others done differently, but can promise you there is no comparison. I haven't talked to Mr. Gary in years & can only assume he's still living. He's mounted deer for me as well & have had them back in only 3 months. He has never taken in too much stuff that he couldn't do the job fairly quick. He's a heck of a taxidermist. You should be happy with your turkey mount by the freeze dry method.

600-1000 these days. I paid $500 but that was years ago. There’s a guy on FB that has impressed me, John beard I think. His heads are incredible. I was quoted $1,100 from Blackwing which seems to be in line with the upper end level work. My thoughts, no sense doing a full body mount unless it's going to be good. I'll check out John Beard.

Ouch, he won another stoopid contest. It was $800-850 just 2 years ago.
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

Tommy Knight of Catonment Fl did all of mine(5). Damn good work.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
