Euro mount

Deerspotter

Over the last couple of years, I have ended up with a couple of decent Sika stag heads, one has mummified, the other is fairly clean skull.
Just wondering of someone might like to Euro mount them for me?
PM with a price including a wooden shield and location I can drop them off.

There is Kurt Ecker in Killarney i think he charges eighty euro for a sika with the plaque. He is excellent and has done a few animals for me i couldn,t recommend him enough!!!

Ive only ever used Peter Gregory down in Wexford and he does a great job-look him up on the internet-he has a good few pics of his work on it.

The last guy that did them for me, charged €30 and he collected them and dropped them back to me! He dropped dead too at some point!
€80 plus two trips to Killarney - OUCH.

I would have said 30 euros was extremely cheap especially collected and dropped back. Doubt you'll get anyone to do it for that anymore.

Agreed Moby, but €80 plus two tanks of petrol @ €90 a pop for up and down to Killarney, is a bit much too.
I thought there might be some lad with a good setup, who'd be doing a few this time of year and taking in an extra couple, wouldn't cost much more time.

Ya he must have died of hunger!!!!charging 30euro per mount??

Funny one!

He was just doing it as a bit of a hobby. He'd build up about 10 heads and do them all at the same time. I'd say €30 would just about cover the costs. But he'd do them all in about two days, so he'd get €300 for two days work, which he was happy with. That would mean you could be waiting for six months though, till he had enough heads to make it worth his while, to fire up the pot!
