Hunting6 Report post Posted March 2, 2012 He must not have much overhead cost to get a price of $350 for a shoulder mount. I would think after all the required prep work, materials used and a minimum of 2 days to mount it, then going over it while it is drying would take at least... 10 hours total, not including materials, which depending on form quality would run around 100-150 dollars. then consider the tanning cost, unless he tans the hide himself which requires more labor hours, and one would have to include time to skin the head out, then clean the skull cap. I might be crazy but that amounts to about $9 or $10 dollars an hour. I guess, if you are just doing it out of love for the work, then it doesn't matter. You ended up getting what you were looking for so congrats to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
