Elko taxidermist for euro mount please

nitis · Aug 23, 2012

Can someone point me towards a good guy or gal to do a euro mount for my antelope I got today? I wanted to do a holder mount but due to an excessive exit wound in the neck that won't be happening. Also if you know their rate that would be helpful too

There is a new shop that goes by 'Rack Em Up' taxidermy. Dont know a thing about him or his number. All i know is he has been advertising on the radio stations.
I just sent my boys antelope to a guy on here that goes by 'EurosbyRT' in UT. Good price, good turn around promised, lifetime guarentee.

I think rack em up taxidermy is Dave Harris but not certain. If so he does awesome European mounts but from what I have heard and saw not the best shoulder mounts.

There is/was another Taxidermy place that is out in Spring Creek area from Elko. He goes by the name of Golden Aspen Taxi and his name is David Hong. 775-753-9450 and on his price list back in 2009 he charges $125 for a Antler and Horn Mounts...nothing about a Euro but he must do them too.

Whatever you do, I would make sure they use beetles, followed by degreasing and peroxide whitening. I know Euro's by RT does it this way. I am almost positive when I was in Golden Aspen's shop he simmered his skulls. Not sure about Rack Em Up. Antelope are very greasy, and will leach grease over time. Plus, an antelope is small and easy to ship...compared to a deer or elk. Freeze it, wrap it in news paper, send it out on a Monday. For my money it would be getting sent off to a specialist.....

Rack Em is the only taxi I know of that does euros. He boils them out and does an OK job. Golden stopped doing them last time I was over there. But his head mouts are some of the best with meny state awards.
