call again or not???
Should I call my taxi or not?? Dropped off 12-9-09 and he said he had half what he did the year before but give him a year. I called 12-1-10 hoping to get it for my son's Christmas. Said would be January so I called the middle of January. Said he still had some in front of me so it will be 3-4 weeks. Called 3-1-11 and he said 3-4 weeks, I was 6th on the list. 3-4 weeks is now 8 and I have still not heard from him. 12 months is nearly 17. I don't wanna make him mad but he was a bit smart with me last time I called. When he gives me a time I double it before I call back so I think he had no right to get upset at me. Should I go ahead and call or let it ride?? I did my homework and he is supposed to be one of the best around, on the state taxidermy board or whatever it is and spoken of quite highly. Just wish he would stick to what he tells me or tell me why he is not. Don't want him mad this is my son's first buck and I want it right.

I would say to keep on him in a nice way. Next time you call, when he says 3-4 weeks say ok 3-4 weeks and I will give you a call, sound good? tell him again how excited your son is to get is deer back and you know it will look great.
Sad to say, but you might have to stroke his ego a little and then find a new taxi next time.
Good luck

From 12/2009 to 4/2011. THATS TOTALLY RIDUCLOUS!! I wouldn't consider him a very good taxidermist with that kind of a time return. I take deerheads in at fall, and have them all returned by end April next spring. Mine are all done & gone now, and thats even slow now compared to some taxidermists.

I will post pics in a few days for opinions on how it turned out. A few places look rough due to scars from fighting (understandable) and he turned him the wrong way because one shoulder was missing some hair. Now it looks at my table instead of the front door but it will be ok.
