I believe Melby charged me about $75 with no board. Mark’s mounts come back looking FANTASTIC too!
I have nothing clever to put here.

I charged $100 for a deer without a panel and it was still not worth my time and expense. I cleaned with maceration, degreased and whitened. It takes a while to get the grease out without damaging the bone. I am no longer doing them other than family.

$125 for a standard no board antelope $175 for a competition quality antelope no board
The higher priced mount is way nicer its sealed and the dust just wipes off. I did sell both capes for $100 each so that helped What product do you use to seal the comp quality?

$140 for the euro, and another $60-$90 for the board. Depending on what kinda board you want.
Cold as ice!

Elmer's glue to seal them. Just a thin layer. I’ve been using mop and glow and getting good results.

It's easy to do yourself, wrap the antler bases in aluminum foil, boil the skull in Sal Soda that you can get from a taxidermy supply company and you can brush off the grissle and left over flesh with a wire brush. Give it a coat of polyurathane and you are good to go. Or do what I do and cut the antlers off like you would for a regular mounted dear head and buy a reproduction skull painted or white, mount your antlers to it and you are done. I still boil the antler base in Sal Soda before I put them on the reproduction skull.

I have a good process down at the moment but it’s interesting to see different techniques.
