The guy I took it to also does his own tanning and according to his rough estimates I could be getting a call from him any day. With the antler restrcitions in PA there's been rumors of taxidermists getting slammed with people bringing in nicer deer, he may have gotten busy.

I took mine in nov 5th and he had a buck that had been shot the 1st day(beginning of Oct) that was drying and needed some painting. It was supposed to be ready in a couple more weeks he said. I thought that was fairly fast.
