Taxidermy is certainly getting more expensive, but with it I feel the artistry has gotten better as well. I'm especially fond of the newer wall pedestal mounts. Euro mounts are a good alternative if you choose not to go the "full" taxidermy route. Then there is the consideration of available space.
Maybe not every animal, but certainly the special ones get mounted....and only you can put that measure of value to each animal or trophy.
And in this digital age, it is ever so easy to capture the memories in photos. As we look back, it's not always the trophy pictures we relish the most. Camp memories, pranks, funny faces...they all add to the value of a trophy, but certainly to the shared memories with family or great friends.
Now if I can only figure out where the hell I am going to put a Bison shoulder mount when it's done......
