RE: mount return time?
Beware of Taxidermists that promises weeks turn around, such a taxidermist lacks the work because he is either New or is bad and has no work, That is the bottom line. I Think Nctaxi explained right, Now imagine taking in 300+ Whitetails, 150 exotics, 30 or 40 elks, 200 ducks, 1500 saltwater fish, 387 bass and other odds and end mounts such as European skulls and antler mounts, Plus I pastor 2 churches.This is my workload right now with 3 taxidermists and 6 assistants.
And you want your deer When ? LOL
