Squirrelhunter91 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yesterday, 1/4/08, was two months since my buck has been at the taxidermist. I cannot wait to get him back. The guy said I'd have it back before March but I don't wanna wait until March!!! www.nevestaxidermy.com is the site for my taxidermist. So who else waiting on a mount of something they shot this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm waiting on a Deer, Widgeon, Pheasant, and a replica of a Musky. As much as I'd like them all back, I'm not looking forward to the rest of the bill!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm wating to and its killing me. Not really sure how much longer its going to take but I want it now!! Then again the sooner I get it the sooner I have to pay the bill so she can keep it a little longer I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisha Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I feel your pain! lol. I think it took around 10 months to get my buck back in 2006. So IMO, that's really fast turn around time if you're supposed to get it back in March! I have a fox squirrel at the taxidermist right now. Killed it back in October and not supposed to get it back until the end of March or April. Also, my dads big 8 point he killed Nov. '07 is at the same place.... and he was told around 10 months as well. Don't rush them that's for sure! Let them do ya a good job on it.

Nick Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 LOL, you better take a chill pill bud. I've had a turkey at the taxidermist since April of 2006. So I will be waiting 2 years this April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTF Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Anything under 6 months is fast. Too fast. Consider yourself lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubie Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Mine has been in the shop about three months now. They told me it would be eight months, but it could probably be done sooner, as I shot my buck on opening day and brought it in the next morning. I used these guys, and am impressed with thier work. They have a huge shop, and do some impressive work. http://www.mytaxidermy.com/ I would say as a rule of thumb, under six month turn around is pretty fast for a higher volume shop, and you have to wonder where they are cutting the corners. If its a hobby business and he doesn't deal with a huge number, your probably doing allright. Over two years is a little excessive if you ask me. A sign that someone is taking on more work then they can handle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Definately know the feeling, my biggest buck went to the taxidermist last Jan and still is not ready. Taking it in late put it on the bottom of the list, I think he had 150 in front of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytman26 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Me too!!!!! My whitetail should be done in 2 weeks. A friend of mine did it. My biggest buck ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swmnk9training Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I took my 11 point in last January and had him back by June. It seemed pretty fast, but its the best moung people in the area have seen. I sure hated the wait! I should have had a pheasant to the taxidermist this year but did not have the freezer space for it to be stored for a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I dropped a buck off at our taxidermist in late November and am not expecting to hear from him for at least another month or two, earliest. He already had quite a few from Oct and early Nov, so I'm back in the line. But he does very good work (my family's used him for thirty years), so I'll gladly wait.

fly Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Definately know the feeling, my biggest buck went to the taxidermist last Jan and still is not ready. Taking it in late put it on the bottom of the list, I think he had 150 in front of mine. Same here. I shot mine on the last day of the 07 archery season (Jan.17th). It's going to be October before I get it back. What's killing me is I haven't had the official P&Y score yet. It should be the biggest I've taken to date. I called Jarvis Taxidermy (well know around my area) and he told me it would be 3 years before I got the head back!!! I'll not be dialing that number again.

Swamphunter Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm still waiting for my bear to arrive from my Sask. hunt last May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have a couple of Canvasbacks and a black duck that I'm waiting on. I took them to the taxidermist in January and he said it would be 3-4 months before they were done. I'm in no hurry though...I'll get them when I get them.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Well.. I somewhat jinxed it, but it was a good jinx. He called yesterday and I should have him tomorrow afternoon. My dad is upstate and will be going to pick it up tomorrow morning. I can't wait!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
