CJohnson Report post Posted February 23, 2016 Anyone have experience with Steve Stayner out of Gilbert? Maybe some pics and examples to share? I realize cost may vary depending on character. But what would you say the "going rate" might be for a typical 3 point? And what about each additional replica made? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector777 Report post Posted February 23, 2016 It's usually pretty expensive. The original mold usually cost around like $600+ I believe. Then each set is like $300. Prices may have changed but call and ask would be the best bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rageinthesage Report post Posted February 24, 2016 He did mine in '04. Antlers are removable, he does great work. My only suggestion with who ever you choose to go with make sure you have the antlers painted white, over time if there is not a base white before the antlers are actually colored they turn yellow. You can see this really well at cabelas if you walk through their museum, I'd say most of their mule deer and whitetail mounts are reproductions. Not sure if steve did the work or not but I'd definitely go check them out. Steve still has one more set of his own off my buck that I'm supposed to get off him, maybe I'll get around to it someday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest akaspecials Report post Posted February 24, 2016 Forgive my ignorance, but is "antler repo" the same as "antler replication"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted February 24, 2016 Probably meant to say "antler repRo" as in reproduction. Threw me off too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becker Report post Posted February 24, 2016 I don't think they turn yellow. They generally had the yellow tint to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str8Shot Report post Posted February 24, 2016 Ever Watch FaceOFF ? Pretty much the same process those guys use to make their masks ... you can probably DIY for under $150 and a Day or two of time and waiting ... This video shows you how it is done and there are tons of videos online for making silicone castings with all the different types of silicone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted February 24, 2016 I totally thought this was gonna be a thread about a reality show where people repossess antlers they sold to buyers and didn't get paid for. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
