i did not rush him. i just know he rather work on deer and bear and exotics then small game becuase he makes more on them. i KNOW he turns them around well within a YEAR. i know thats pretty cheap for a squirrel, but i looked at one of his customer mounts and it was a dang great looking mount.....come to think of it he waited about as long as I...he just didnt pick it up. i had his money saved for a whole year. try doing that when your 16 lol. 80$ was a good bit of change to me then! after his year was up i called him and he kept saying ahhhh a couple months. so every new deadline he gave himself i would call a few weeks AFTER that deadline. ill be danged, may when i called he FINALLY appologized and sounded like he cared(other times he was rude and could care less) but he did indeed say august. if it wasnt done by sept i was picking it up frozen! we will see how it goes. i didnt rush him. you tell someone around a year...you dont call within 15 months i dont see calling him and asking RUSHING....though some of you taxis consider that rushing..then every new deadline id call a month or so AFTER what he told me...if thats rushing him in anyones eyes then im sorry i rushed him....but i dont see it that way. i dont care how busy he is....if he takes on too much work he needs to turn people away or hire help or start working quicker and meeting his deadlines! if calling him to check on all his "deadlines" is rushing him thats nuts....im just worried that he may slopped it out just so i wouldnt have to call in sept. i dont know....we shall see. i cant help i dont have his money after 3yrs....i had it....till i bought my bow...now its time to go back to college...i got alot of things i need to pay for before then. so he can wait till i come home my first weekend....i waited 3 years!
