Red Hawk, The squirrel mount was actually done by me. I do a little small mammal taxidermy and that is the only one I have done so far. I have been doing research on it for like 6 months and am about to tackle some more mounts. Hopefully they will turn out a little better. Some of my friends also think it looks like a gangsta squirrel throwing up a gang symbol..lol

Wow jimbo, thats a long time to wait. I looked at three taxidermist before picking the one I did. One had a turn-around of 6-8 months, one 2-3, and one 4-6. I went with the 4-6 and it got done in 3.

You're not kidding Nuge, 13 months is a long time. Especially if you're me! If this isn't one of the best mount jobs I've ever seen, I will be choosing a new taxidermist for my next one if I'm lucky enough to HAVE a next one!

I can't believe you guys are waiting over a year for a mount to be finished, 5 months is a long time around here and heck I killed mine on Nov. 15th and could have brought it home two weeks ago but the taxidermist wanted to show off this new new form.

I wouldnt mind learning how to do taxidermist work just as a hobby myself.
