Sheep mounts and Taxidermist

[AK Troutbum]

I asked Monarch about a replica so I could have euro mount as well; they use an outfit in Wyoming to make the replica horns- it's spendy- about $2000.

They said it would be very (very) tough to tell it's a replica on your shoulder/life mount.

So does the $2k cover the cost of the entire shoulder mount with the replica horns?

I think WYO told me about $1000 two years ago. Zimmerman’s charges (ballpark): $1300 for shoulder, $3000 for pedestal and $6000 for life size.

Nope- covers removal of the horns, shipping to/from the taxidermist & replica person, replica horns and the treating of the skull for a euro mount

pricey no doubt!

Is it fair to say for 2023 a lifesize sheep with replica horns for the mount, euro mount original, and shipping is probably $10,000 by the time it gets to your door?

From what I’m seeing that would be really close or possibly a little low.
