    My dad lives up In northern Minnesota where there are allot of predators. In the off season of bowhunting he's gotten Into trapping In the hopes of getting a few coyote's. So far he's gotten a few coyote's but the other day he got this very unique Red Fox.

    I just talked with dad and he's getting a full body mount done on It. $300.00 to get It done.

    $300? That sounds pretty cheap. I hope the taxi does a great job on it, that's an awesome looking animal.

    I thought It was pretty cheap also. Hopefully the price doesn't reflect his work.

    That's always my main concern with any taxidermist who's rates are low. My buddy just had a fox mounted and it was $800 and turned out pretty nice.
