Guy I have always used:

Rick-- 303-423-7022

I think he is down in canyon city but he works at Steves Meats. always gave me good prices, good turn around times and everything has always looked awesome.

How are his prices?

If your talking a European mount they are very easy to do at home and get expert results. Contact me and I'll walk you through it, I'm doing 2 of them right now.

How are his prices?

very comparable to most places. I have always killed 5x5 elk and have not got my nice royal bull yet so I always traded him the cape for a wall mount. I think he would normally charge around 175 for that.

skull mounts vary depending on if you wanted something painted on it or not.

full shoulder mounts for elk I think with in the 750-800 range.

European Mounts are easy to do, I've done about 3. One trick is to get Washing Soda (either Cabelas, Van Dykes, or Grocery Store), in the store it is Arm & Hammer Washing Soda, in Laundry Detergent aisle, it lifts off the flesh great.

There are kits available at most outdoor stores to bleach and with the washing soda. Lots of tips on the internet too.
