Taxidermist - How long should it take?

RE: Taxidermist - How long should it take?
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.

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.

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.

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.
