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.

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.
