This season if you plan on doing a European mount, please keep the cape on it and I will cape it out and save the cape for others deer who may have had a bad cape or no cape at all. I will give discount on your European mount as well! Thank you all and good luck this season

It’s opening day for bow season today! Good luck to all hunters out there and stay safe. With that being said, everyone knows prices continue to rise in our country. I’m only raising my prices $50, $500 for a shoulder mount and $600 for a wall/floor pedestal. This will cover the manikin and eye cost going up. I appreciate all my customers and look forward to seeing you all this season!

Hello everyone, many of you may have heard or already knew but I’ve been dealing with some health issues with my eye sight. I’ve been diagnosed with toxoplasmosis. It’s caused from eating undercooked meat (venison) ironically. With that being said I have not been able to work on much taxidermy work this summer. Although my vision is finally coming back. With countless doctor visits and appointments and antibiotics and steroids. I am a little behind on shoulder mounts, I put a few together a week ago and am confident in myself that I’ll be able to get everyone’s deer done. Turn around time just isn’t as good as I was hoping so your wait times are a little longer than I was anticipating.

With all this being said, if you have any questions or want to take your deer somewhere else please just message me. My family and I truly appreciate everyone who has brought me their business and I am going to get up and running again and get them done as fast as possible. Thanks everyone again for their patience as I work through this health problem.

Hello everyone, with bow season opening up in a few days I wanted to make an updated post about prices this year. With that being said every deer I do on Hilton Epply forms will be priced at $450, same as last years price. All other forms from other places will be prices at $550. The reason for this is simply because Epply forms are made in Ohio which means I can go pick them up and save that money on shipping. They are top quality, and truly are made for our Ohio bucks. Other places charge so much for shipping I don’t have a choice but to charge a little more. Predator prices will vary from $600 to $800 based on what you want done. Any other questions about anything feel free to text me or call me at +17408858877. Thank you to all my previous customers and I hope to see you soon. If you haven’t got your bucks back yet, I have 18 left and I’m working as hard as I can to get them done. and I welcomed our little bundle of joy into the world 9/23/23, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers

This is why taxidermy prices are so expensive. Check out the price of 5 sewing needles vs. The shipping price for the 5 needles

There’s been a lot of life changing things happening lately. The past few months I’ve been in the process of buying my first home and getting moved in. With that being said, today I started on deer capes in the new Hayes Taxidermy shop! I hope everyone understands why the wait time will be a little longer than last year. Thanks again for everyone’s business, and patience with me!

The new address for Hayes Taxidermy is:
1205 Cameron Road, Whipple Ohio, 45788

With the 2022 deer season only a few weeks away as I’m finishing up the last 5 shoulder mounts from 2021, I’d like to thank everyone for their business in my first year of taxidermy. I ended up with 54 deer heads which was much more than I expected! Below are a few of my favorites from the 2021 deer season.

My prices this year due to rising costs in shipping and materials will be:
$100 European mount
$450 standard shoulder mount
$500 wall pedestal with felt back
$550 wall pedestal with wood back

This year I wanted to do something to give back to my customers. The person that refers me the most business in the 2022 deer season will get a free standard shoulder mount of your choice in the 2023 deer season. This will end the last day of bow season.
