I spoke to my taxi yesterday and he said my mount will be ready in a couple of weeks. I killed that deer 12-14. He also told me that not that many deer heads came in this year as compared to years past. Could be the economy or it could be a lower than average buck killing year. He thought the take was down.

LKN....My txi said the same thing....and he STAYS booked.
I talked to the wildlife Bio., last night, at length......and he said the mast crops (lack thereof)were the cause for the erratic deer movement, this past season.
He said buck sightings were down, statewide. I know they are there.....but where I have access.....if they're not on mast crops....I actually DON'T have access to them.
I have 2 mounts, now.....and both were rutting bucks.....chasing does. It's something, though, huh?
LOL. That's better than me. I swear I must be the most forgettable person in the world. I gave one taxi 3 caribou and 2 whitetails in 2 years and they couldn't remember me from Jo-Jo. Then theguy I went back to this year (who is more expensive but way better said "DON'T CALL ME!" I am hoping to get mine back before next October.
Edit: in 2000 when I had him do a buck it took 14 months to get it back.

Try 7 years and I still haven't got my bear back yet!
My taxidermist told me that this year was the least amount of deer heads brought in EVER in his 20+ year career as a full time taxi. Could be EHD, which hit pretty hard around here. He was happy though because he has been so behind that it takes nearly a year to get stuff back. This year he plans to have the freezers pretty well cleaned out of all the deer, birds, and fish and be ready for turkey season. He expects a 5 month or less turn around from here on out.
He also has the unspoken policy, pay all up front and get bumped up the list past Joe Shmoe who hasn't paid anything yet.
Schultzy, i would be at the shop asking to see my bear. If you havent seen the bear since 2000, my bet is he either lost it, sold it, or messed it up and wont fess up. Sounds likea heck of a bear too.[&:]
