Default Taxidermist Is Ready For My 2 Racks

Well my taxidermist called me, he informed meto bring in both racks, they are from the bucks I killed in Illinois in 2007. He will be soaking the hides on Monday. I can't wait to get them back, he said roughly 1.5 months

That's a good practice, to give your racks back to you to hold until the work can begin. It does a few things: keeps you interested in your trophy, cancels any liability on the taxidermist's part and it also frees up space in the shop.
1.5 months is an adequate time to mount, and from your post date, it is a few weeks away now. Be sure to post up some pics, we'd like to see the finished product.

Maybe alittle longer, my taxidermist informed me he is flying to Florida to do a snow scene for Disney this week. No big deal
