Who's getting a deer mounted this year?

Just wandering how many of you sent a deer to get mounted from any of them you killed this past deer season.

I've got one shoulder mount I'm waiting on. Killed that buck sort of late in our season on January 9th. Probably be August or September before it's ready.

I am getting a shoulder mount of a 8 pt....it takes 2 years to get it back from my taxidermist. I could take it somewhere else and get it back a lot quicker, but the mount will not last as long, and the quality would not be as good.

Got mine back already. My taxidermist only does about 25 a year on a part time basis, so he usually turns them around fairly quick.

I was was wondering if you were going to mount that one Tom. Looking good! wink.gif

My taxidermist already had a bunch of deer come in before mine. Spent some time there checking out some of the racks brought in so far. He still had some African game left to mount too. Even though I've known him for years it's a first come first served basis so I'll just be patient and wait my turn.

Got an 8pt. in early Nov. archery season...got him back in Jan. Waiting for my elk that I got in CO as well! Wife wasn't real pleased with the taxidermy bill...lol

IMO...there is no reason why a good quaility mount should take any longer than a year! The guy I use does it full time and tans his own hides...so if he wants paid and to eat...he gets them done. They look great and have no complaints...been in buisness for some time. wink.gif
