I like Euro mounts a whole bunch better than "stuffed up animal heads" as my daughter says!
They look great guys....

Nice mounts Beth, if you don't mind me asking, how much did high point charge for your Euro mounts.

they charged us $175 per mount, and we just brought them the cut off whole deer head after we shot each one. I think it was a fair price.

Yes $175 does seem like a fair price. I got one done this year for $150., but the plague wasn't that nice. It looked like the taxidermest bought it from Micheal's craft store , stained it and attached the skull with $2.00 bracket. I've got nine more deer skulls at home from past seasons that I'll do myself.

I actually had Tyler make Kellys, so that if we move somewhere and have more wall room (which I have none left) then it can go on the wall. Kinda did it like a double plaque . He did like a double plaque for ours and it has two solid bases from the top to the bottom. Mine has some nice driftwood, grass and moss features for him. We have brought all our work to them, we have a badger there now getting done as a rug as well. I cant wait to get him back.

Nice looking mounts. Fair price I might add as well. I have done many buffalo skulls and its alot of work. Have done some Welsh longhorn skulls as well they are big. Never did a deer yet though, just waiting for the right one.

Very nice Euro mounts K&B!
I have a set I'm considering doing, and since I spend the odd weekend in Rocky visiting the relatives, a little stop in Rimbey isn't out of the question.

Glad to see you got yours back, I am still waiting for my 2006 mount from Artistic in Edmonton, they told me 12-16 months which I could live with as he does great work, just called the other day and was told to call back in July!!
Gotta be patient I guess!
