The thing I love about my Taxidermist is the fact that he calls me and lets me know whats going on..
I'm currently have a mule deer being mounted that I harvested last Nov he phoned me up about 2months ago to let me know that
he just sent the cape in for wet tanning..
So maybe with any luck I might have it by Jan of next year but I'm not holding my breath..
Holy Crap Jeff if that was my deer I'd be steamn mad. 6 month pass and he just sent it to the tannery??
did you Cape it out or did he? This may explain the 18 month wait? you may have another trophy deer on the way to him before you see your first one back.
I had a mount done last your and yes my guy does it as a hobby (really good work) He only takes in 12 or so deer (that all he does is deer) Works on the mounts on his off days or after dinner.
I think some of the top name taxi's take in more then they can chew hence the long wait. But some people dont mind.
