That's the one thing that always freaked me out about leaving my antlers at the taxidermist - having them turn up missing somehow. My taxi actually doesn't like to keep racks at his shop for that reason. He'll usually call you when they're boiled out so you can pick them up, then he calls you later when he needs them for the mount. Sure it's a little extra driving, but it's worth the peace of mind.
Good luck on getting them back, that would royally suck if they were gone. [:@]
Since they were in velvet I had to leave them. Otherwise, I keep them as well and do jsut as you do. One time the taxi forgot that I had them and called me in a panic b/c he couldn't find my rack
That is the guy doing my deer, but he won't mess with velvet so I went to this other place that a guy who has had about 15-20 mounts done from them. Like I said this is a "real deal" taxi shop. I am not a bargain shopper when it comes to my memory preservation
I am in more disbelief than anything.
And thanks, I sure hope they turn up too! Not only was it a nice caribou, but my only commemoration of the trip[:@]
