I called him and he wants $475 and 8 months. Any better offers out there. That sounds a little high to me.

drive 45 minutes and give it to Ellis Solomon. It's worth it.

+1 on Ellis for deer
If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.

my brother in law really likes Cole Davis's work, he is in Winona. I am pretty sure deer are 425-500 at just about any quality taxidermist.

Would his name be Billy Kohn?

A real good deer taxidermist is in Cleveland.....Jim Nelson, he charges $350 plain or $385 with a plaque. He takes 5 or 6 months to get one back but is very good. The ones I've seen Cole Davis do are real good as well.

I have been using Jimmy McGuire in Clinton. He did one for me last year ($450 with plaque). Here is a link to his website, if you want to check out his work:
