Posted up front. No surprises at pickup.
One card, same for everybody, tax already in. If you’re deciding between mounts, text me a photo and I’ll tell you honestly which one suits the buck and the room.
One price list. Same for everybody.
The card on the right is the one hanging in the shop. I take a set number of deer each season, so the price doesn’t move with how busy it gets.

Shoulder, pedestal or backpack.
All three are the same buck, the same hide care and the same finish work. The difference is how much of the animal you see and where he lives in the house.
| Mount | Where it lives | What you see | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder mount | On the wall | Head, neck and shoulders, cut square at the back | Most rooms, most bucks. The traditional look. | $800 |
| Backpack mount | On the wall | Head, neck, brisket and the top of the shoulders, finished on all sides | A pedestal look without giving up floor space. | $850 |
| Pedestal mount | On a base, floor or table | Head, neck and full brisket, viewable from every angle | A buck of a lifetime, an office, a great room with space to walk around him. | $950 |
Custom habitat adds a natural scene under or behind the mount: rock, timber, leaves, snow. $400 on a shoulder mount, quoted at drop-off on a pedestal because the base decides the price.
What the price covers.
- Professional tanning.
Your cape goes to a commercial tannery. Tanned hide stays soft and stable for decades. Dry-preserved hide cracks and shrinks.
- A form altered to your deer.
Measurements taken at drop-off. The form is chosen for your buck’s size and pose, then reshaped where he differs from the mold.
- Premium eyes, ear systems and finish.
The materials that decide whether a mount looks alive. I don’t save money here, and I don’t charge extra for it.
- Your pose and turn.
Upright, semi-sneak or sneak, left or right turn, chosen together at drop-off with the room in mind.
- Two texts, no chasing.
One to set your drop-off appointment, and one with a photo of the finished mount when he’s ready to pick up.
- Hanging hardware and care instructions.
At pickup we go over how to hang him, where to keep him away from sun and heat, and how to keep him clean.
Straight answers.
Why a 50% deposit?
Is the price really final?
What does rush service cost?
Do you take deer from outside Coshocton County?
How do I compare this to other shops?
Hold your place before the season fills.
Text me a photo of your buck, or of the buck you’re after. I’ll tell you whether I have room and set a drop-off time.
