RE: Mount times
 

Some of the turn around times depends on if a guy does it full time or part time. The guy I went to does awesome work but only does it part time. I went to him in the middle of gun season and I'm sure I was 30-40 in maybe more. I'm sure he has far more than that. He's part time and takes 8-9 months. in fact I still have my antlers waiting on him to get to mine.

A guy that does it full time can probably do many more. I think turn around time isn't the best thing to go by. When I was looking for a taxi I heard many people around here tell me a guy he knows gets them back to you in.... Nothing about how great the mount looked. With me I want a quality job. I looked at the guys work and realy liked it. So thats what impressed me.

Another friend of mine does his own. He said if you have a for you can literaly shoot it in the morning and hand it on the wall that night using dry-tan. His mounts look pretty good but I was told to steer away from dri-tan. He is helping me do last years doe myself so I'll see side by side how they last.

and you can only kill a deer with a magnum rifle

I agree and disagree with you. My taxidermist doesn't do it on a full time basis anymore. He takes what he can handle and thats it. My buck took 4.5 months to get done, it turned out excellent. He didn't do the tanning himself either, it was sent off. In most cases a good taxidermist is behind, I do wish though they would take what they can handle instead of leaving the guy hanging for a few years.

roughly anywhere from 8 months to one year

RE: Mount times
 

we normally get ours back in about 5 months, the taxi sends out the hides, and hes always very very busy

I dropped my 8-Point Buck off at the Taxi around Nov.14,2007 and it won't be finished until Aug. 2008, so I'm looking at a 9 month wait until my "Baby" is done! [:@];)

If I would have shot my Buck on the 1st opening weekend of Deer Season I would have only had a 2 to 5 month wait! My great Nephew still had his 2006 Buck in his freezer so I told him he better get in there before Rifle Season starts and when he did he only had to wait for 2 months to get his Buck Mount back!
