My 8 point in 2020 was $6something by Will Foster in Montgomery. Now I did load up on ducks in the early 2000s and those were about $200 a pop.

I'm about to find out- will post the results of my price shopping. Expecting $600-700. Last one I shoulder mounted was $350 . Those Euro mounts will spoil you.

My Buddy and his son came back from illinois after the first shotgun hunt and stopped by Chocolocco Taxidermy and said that Allen has went up to 1100 for a midwest buck and a 1000 for an Alabama buck... 
Did you know that Beer Nutz are over a Dollar...and Deer Nutz are under a Buck...

Yep!! Me and another guy were going to take Midwest bucks to him. When we were told $1,100, we took it to Jerry’s in Oxford. $499

Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

I’ve got 3 from Choccolocco. It sounds to me like he is trying to retire or slow down the volume. His mounts look great andI’m sure some will keep paying it.

Was an old man that was in one of those you shoot it ya have to mount it clubs, and he used to come by my Buddy's shop, and he'd always have him just swap out horns with an old mount 😄
