You're lucky. I still haven't gotten my '03 or my '04 bucks back. Been calling and leaving messages but never get a call back. I know his shop is still there but it's never open when I go by. I just have a bad feeling.

I have a good taxidermist who doesnt do a ton of mounts. It took me 3 months to get mine back...

Usually takes mine a little over a year to a year and a half so looks like you're not too far off. I've heard of a guy close by that gets 'em back in 6 months, but I have to question the quality of the mount on that short of a turn around time.

I know a guy that takes way too long...3-4 years. I no loger go to him. 1 - 1.5 years is all it should really take.

My taxidermist was arrested for fraud, he was taking the animals and downpayments and never doing the work...I have a Rio Grand turkey with him now I have to wait for the hearings to see if I can get it back.

13 months is an acceptable amount of time to wait as far as I'm concerned. A taxidermist pushing animals out any faster isn't as busy as the others. Anything over 13 months and the taxidermist is either lazy or taking on more than he can chew.

Thats how long it is for my taxidermist. He does good work but that really is a long time to wiat. He took almost 2 years for my dads walleye. After this buck I'm looking for a new taxidermist.

I've used a couple, shortest time was 3 months and longest 8 months. If you haven't got a 2003 or 04 buck back, then that just smells wrong.
