I was quoted a timeof 1 year when I dropped off the buck I killed last November, he called me in June and it was ready. I was quoted 6 months on my bear I killed last August and I am still waiting for it. I would rather they over shoot and have it to me earlier than I expected than undershoot and leave me waiting. The guy doing my bearhas gotten a call from me every month since March to let him know I am checking on his progress expecting it to be done at anytime.
