Common Specimen Price List:
My pricing is based on the utmost quality. If you are here looking for the cheapest option, you have not found it. Pricing is based on hours worked and supplies needed, not what the guy down the street may or may not charge. If the price is listed on this website the day you call, that price will always be honored. 50% down payment is required for all work to begin, unless previous arrangements have been agreed upon.

-European Skull, The euro mounts we produce are not something that is "done in a week." We use dermisted beetles in order to protect the fragile nasal bones that get destroyed in the boiling/pressure washer method used by most. Once the beetles have cleaned the skull, it goes through an extensive degreasing process that will last months, making sure your trophy lasts a lifetime with no break down and no yellowing. Deer, Pronghorn=175. Black Bear, Hog=235. Coyote, Badger, Bobcat and most average mammals=135 

If you would like your deer euro installed on one of our beautiful Michigan plaques, add 60.
