Hi,

I just got back from a caribou hunt in northern Quebec. I brought a hide back with me looking to turn it into a rug. I took it to my local taxidermist, which is the first thing I'm doing with them.

Based on the expectations a few fellow hunters set with me, I was thinking that a quality job would take about 6-9 months in total between the taxidermist getting all the hides he will for the season; sending it to the tannery; getting it back, etc...

I was very surprised when this taxidermist, who says they are also the tannery for many taxidermists in the area, told me it will take 4 weeks?

Would this raise any red flags to you?

Thanks.
