sorry nctaxi..i know words are diffrent then talking. if i came off harse in the reply i did not mean it at all. i was trying to clarify myself. sorry for the misunderstanding.

im actually in Beaver County. even if the squirrel looks top notch i dont think ill go back..i just dont like the way he does business. hes the guy that is an excellent taxidermist...but getting old....and he will pop out 1000 deer heads and such..but wont touch small game. all he had to do was tell me he wasnt accepting small game and i would understood. i know hes a BUSY guy..and does it singlehandedly. i just like guys that can run their business a little better. my new taxidermist mounted a 13inch wild trout for me. he is new to professional taxidermy but was always an artist and can paint. i met him on another board..he only charged me 7.50 an inch (normally 10$ an inch) and turned it around in right under a year..and it was top notch for a customer piece. i dont expect favors and wouldnt minded paying much much more for the fish. i like how he works on work as it comes in regaurdless of size, price, income etc..i wish him the best and hope for him to beable to quit his day job and take on taxidermy full time. he loves to do it and it shows. he had many deer waiting to be done while he worked on my fish. hes still working on deer. i bet this guy i goto get the squirrel from has all his deer returned by now!

i did talk to him today. he said 3 weeks is fine he just wanted to let me know it was done and thanked me for being patient so i guess i didnt rush him. i explained i was getting ready to leave for college again and he said he understands and the squirrel is ready when i am....cant wait to see it...i hope it looks awesome....it was an awesome looking squirrel
