DD Bill was not trying to insult you I know him well enough to know that. We as taxidermists understand that our customers are excited about their trophies and that they are in a hurry to get them back.

But I must ask you what is more important... Getting it back in 2 or 3 months and it falling apart in 2 or 3 years or waiting for a year maybe 2 and it lasting a life time. I think what bill was saying he can't believe people would give up quality in order to get their mount backASAP.

I look at it like this and I am sureI have said it on here befor. The customer spends lets say:

Camoflauge..........$200
Cover scents........$15
Rifle with scope.....$1000
4wheeler..............$7000
Treestand.............$250
Foodplots, salt licks, mineral blocks, supplements..........I have no idea on the $$ but it can't be cheap either.
Hunting Lease........$1000
Guided Hunt..........$ 2500 & up

Your telling me that a customer that spends that kinda money to get a chance to harvest a trophy buck can't spend $400 - $600 to have it mounted and wait 1 year to get it back. If it means it will last a life time? Now to you see why we find it kinda funny when someone goes to the cheapest guy to have a deer mounted. You get what you pay for most of the time.
