RE: Free advice - Kill your bucks, early!
I tell my taxi to take his time, I really don't care if it takes 12 months to get my buck back. I want it to be his best work. I take plenty of pics to get me through the waiting period. I killed my buck 11-3-07 and can probably expect it back in August. If anyone is looking for a new taxidermist in the central Ohio area who does a great job at a reasonable price PM me and I can get his info to you. I stumbled across him last year when the guy I used to use retired.
