M. Magis What makes me think he could get it done in 6 nonths? IF YOU OPENED YOUR EYES & READ WHAT I WROTE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO ASK THAT QUESTION! I AGREED TO PAY HIM, AS PER HIS REQUEST, 30% MORE TO GET IT DONE IN 3 TO 6 MONTHS! & It does NOT take that long to get it taned. My father inlaw shot his bear the same day I did & his mount is DONE! & looks great! & another thing, I know taxidermy is not a one day job BUTTHOLE! & I don't "call him constantly" I have only called him 2 times in one year! It sounds like to me that maybe you are a taxidermist, you know, the kind that takes on more work than he can handel. Does this sound like the case? I think it does. Maybe you should read things CLEARLY before you start writing stupid, rude replys.
