the time it takes is really not the time you get it back.it depends on how busy they are.if your first it may be a few mo's.later in the season it may take a year.

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
my Osceola tail,beard, and wings took 14 months, he was really busy. My wife's eastern we took this spring for full body is supposed to be back in about 10 months
If it takes more than 12 month to get your mount back I would look for another taxidermist!!! Most of these guys will not turn work away even if they cant do the work they all ready have

I always expect a year from a quality taxidermist. Anything less makes me wonder why they are not as busy as the rest. But that being said, my taxidermist is a personal friend of mine and I don't ask for favors, he's one of the best and is full time and very busy. My bird from last year I got back this June took 13 months....he does cut me a break on price tho.
How long does your mounts take?
Mine have ranged from 3 months to a year!
