mathews4life Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 on average do your deer mounts take before you get them back? It takes usually b/w 1 or 2 yrs around here. I'm about to send mine off and hate to wait that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinsonovagun Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: How long.... No way I would wait 1-2 years!!!! My taxidermist has a 6 month turn-around period. No reason to be any longer than that IMO....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: How long.... I provide a 6 month turnaround, but am way ahead of schedule this year (slow season) . The deer head I just completed took 2 months total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: How long.... Taxidermist who used to do mine took anywhere from 9 months to a years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: How long.... ours is stady at 12 months for everything due to the number of customers. If you sweet talk him and have a mount you really want sooner he can do it in 9 months. If you really want it fast you are out of luck because he works on the first come first served principle.

dogdoc Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: How long.... Around here the average wait is 10 to 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews4life Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: How long.... Well most other places dont take quite as long, but the guy i bring my two is VERY well known and mounts for ppl all over the place and he is very busy. It's actually a guy and his son. One reason for the length is that they make their own molds. He is referred to as a "master taxedermisst", i'll try to post pics of some other mounts i have ...its well worth the wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTF Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Re: How long.... [ QUOTE ] Any longer than that in my case, means I'm either getting lazy and need to pick up the pace or I need to raise my prices. [/ QUOTE ] Very well said. I feel the same way. Anyone who takes longer then six months no matter what, either needs to hire help or get on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
