What's a fair price to do a European skull for an antlered deer ? I had a couple guys ask me to do there deer for them and I'm not sure what to charge. I was thinking $50 to $75 , does that seem about right ? -Thanks

I'm sure you'll get different answers from all over the country. I would call a couple local taxidermists and ask them, then take off whatever you think is fair for your buddies.

The person I sell critter skulls to has a pretty extensive beetle set-up. For deer she will clean and then whiten it for $60 if you leave the hair on or $45 if fully skinned. She does over a 1,000 skull a year for both walk-in's and local taxidermists. Her husband has a hydro dip set up if you want to put a pattern on the skull. The last one I had dipped in 2017 was $125 but cost me nothing with critter skulls in exchange.

Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping.
May I be half the man he was.

My guy charges $30 for just the skull and $50 on a pedestal. Of course I don’t pay him that, but that’s his price.
