Does anyone know where I can get a set of replica antlers made..I will send them mine so they can make a mold and get an exact duplicate made. I've only found 2 places so far and the price was a little higher than I expexted.


I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

I haven't kept up with who is doing it but you may find someone on taxinet.In the upper right hand corner is a link to taxidermists and you can search by state.If someone does repros chances are,the business name will reflect that.

I can tell you, it is a very labor intensive process and it will be expensive if the person is good and reputable.The exception would be if the client has a really special ,record book rack and an agreement to allow the maker to sell copies,could be reached.

Good luck with it.

If the deer has a big enough rack they’ll do it for nothing Then contract negotiations begin. A bud got a monster some yrs back but the yr b4 his friend found matching sheds. Guy did replicas of both for free he can sell others if he pays %. I know cabela basspro an gander mountain have bought them.

I wonder if one of those 3D printers would cheapen the cost?


Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.

Nope. Still need a 3D scanner and an engineer/software to translate the point cloud and make it usable.
Its going to be expensive, in the thousands, no matter what. Most of the better ones are too busy to bother taking free work.

So far I got quotes between $3200 and $5500. Didn't really want to spend that much. I will do it for $2000 but no more. This is only a 51" moose that we got on a buddy permit and we'd both like to have the antlers. Not a trophy by any means, but the only one we'll get.

I doubt you’d be happy with the quality of a set of $2000 replica moose antlers. Most whitetail sets would be more
than that.

One other option I know of if you’re still looking. He’s not the fastest turnaround, but does good work https://m.facebook.com/Midwest-Taxidermy-Replica-Horns-221431301533999/
