I'm still waiting on my buck from December 2004. The guy had done work for me in 1997 and did a great job, so, I went back to him again in 2004. I was originally told that it wouldtake about 9 months, but then my taxidermist needed back surgery and his doctor wouldn't let him work for several months...
I used another taxidermist for my 2005 stuff, and he's promised it back by the end of February. So, I may get my 2005 hog and euro-mount 8 point back before I get my 2004 10 point...
I'm hoping that the quick turn-around time for the new guy isn't indicative of poor work. The stuff he had on display at his shop looked pretty good and he's been in business for 25 years...
Here's a pic of my 1997 buck done by my first taxidermist:
