That is why I tell my customers 8 months to a year.
I always wonder about taxidermist that promise 2 months 3 month turn around, there are no tanneries that will do work in less than 5 months,plus you have to salt cure the hide before you send it, how can a taxidermist promise 2 months ? The skull bone takes 60 to 90 days to shrink as it dries to its final size if you mount it before it dries the skin will pull away from the base of the antlers, Iam sure you all seen that.

No taxidermy is not an overnight thing or pick up at the window.
I suspect it will never be.
