The taxidermist who mounts all of my deer does several hundred mounts each year, and even he has a much better turn around then the taxidermist mentioned above. He dosent start mounting deer until after the deer season is completly over, but the earlier in the season you kill your deer the earlier you will get it back. The last buck I took to him I killed the last week of November, I had the buck hanging in my trophy room april of that same year. I pay about $500 per shoulder mount, but this guy is one of the best in the state.

We pay 350 a shoulder mount...
This guys has RACKS and RACKS hangin from the rafters in his back room, just waiting to be mounted.. This guy is at his Studio 40 hours a week... I dont know what he does.. BUT IT TAKES FOREVER... Although, I've been told if you give him extra money he'll get it back faster.. HMMMMMMMMM
Kinda frickin ridiculous if you ask me.. HE DOES DO EXCELLENT WORK THOUGH... People bring stuff from hours and hours away..
But this year, if i shoot a hanger, I'm bringing somewhere else.... somewhere in wisconsin... Prolly Rhinehart..

RE: How long does your Taxidermist take?
Let's see.......the oldest one i have at the taxiderist is coming up at 2 years at the end of october. He charges $500 and can upgrade the eyes to have whites in the eyes. That really looks good. So $530. Think I should stop in and see how it comming. I chose him because he's that good and he said up front it would be 1 1/2 to 2 years.
Good Luck!
