Calculate taxidermy costs based on specimen measurements - antler spread, fish length, horn length, and more. Get per-inch pricing for accurate quotes on any size trophy.
Fish replica mounts are commonly priced per inch of total body length. Rates typically range from $12 to $20 per inch depending on the species and complexity. A 24-inch largemouth bass replica at $15 per inch would cost $360. Skin mounts of actual fish may cost more due to the additional preservation work.
Some taxidermists use antler spread as a pricing factor, especially for european mounts and antler plaques. The per-inch rate is applied to the outside spread measurement. This method helps account for the additional material and display hardware needed for wider racks.
Cost-per-inch is standard for fish mounts and fairly common for horn and antler-based pricing. For shoulder and full body mounts, most taxidermists use flat-rate pricing by species and mount type rather than per-inch measurements. However, measurements can affect the final price when they push into larger form sizes.
For large game shoulder mounts, neck circumference and overall body size determine which form size is needed, which affects pricing. Animals with unusually large necks or bodies may require custom or oversized forms that add $100 to $300 to the total cost. Antler spread can also affect pricing for mounting hardware and wall space requirements.
