Default RE: Average wait for a deer mount

my taxi tans all his deer hides .he sends bear hides to the tannery. the guy he uses is only a hour away ,so he can usually get them back alittle faster then most. about the longest i've seen guys have to wait is 8months. i think this year he took in about 80 deer and 15-20 bear ,plus small game. he's been talking about buying a pressure tanner to speed up the whole process.

for my stuff its different,we've hunted together for 25yrs and always been great friends. i make all of his habitat wooden bases for him,in oak or walnut any size he needs. he does my work in trade for bases,so i can get my stuff pretty quick most of the time. i have 2 deer and 2 bear there now.
