Depends greatly on the timming. Get it in early in the season cuts down on.......well.......down time:)Mine have ranged from 3 months to a year!

the time it takes is really not the time you get it back.it depends on how busy they are.if your first it may be a few mo's.later in the season it may take a year.

Rush them and you get a sloppy job done , but then again , I've been waiting near 5 years for a couple and still have not got them [:@]...BT

If it takes more than 12 month to get your mount back I would look for another taxidermist!!! Most of these guys will not turn work away even if they cant do the work they all ready have:(

I always expect a year from a quality taxidermist. Anything less makes me wonder why they are not as busy as the rest. But that being said, my taxidermist is a personal friend of mine and I don't ask for favors, he's one of the best and is full time and very busy. My bird from last year I got back this June took 13 months....he does cut me a break on price tho. ;):D
