Mount times
What is a good average that everyone waits to get their deer head mounts back?
Taking in account a few variables like...
How busy the taxi's is (10 heads or 150 heads) or if they send the capes out for tanning or do them in-house, etc...
I've talked to numerous taxi's and they all seem to have differant methods and times.
Anything from drying times - to tanning, etc.
For me this years deer was shot @ the beginning of Nov, and I am told, Apr-May to complete mine, which is one of the taxi's 1st to be completed.

I'll wait if its a realy good job. Epecialy for a realy nice buck. I'll spend the extra money and wait for a mount that will look nice and last.

my taxidermist get's mine done in about 3-4 months and he is extremely busy. he does everything from gators to ducks. he tans the hides at his shop and he makes his own molds.

Any good taxidermist is a year behind. That shows he has business and is probably very credible. I had a shop for 5 years till I got divorced and u know what happened there and I was a year behind and was very busy
