How Long Should A Basic Shoulder Mount Take?

[WildThings]

I tell my clients "A minimum of 8 months"

12-18 months, depending on the taxis work load.

Always 10+ months from a great taxidermist that is in demand.

If you actually get it in 6months or less, let's have a crack at the comparisons.

Feel free to share some of those bobcat mounts again too. It will make it even more fun!

In the last couple years life ***** slapped me and I got way behind. Cast and Blast waited almost 2 years for his last deer, but thankfully he was very understanding of my situation and only threatened one arse whoopin!

I have a full time job and only take in work from people that I know won't be a pain in the *** and call me every month, starting the fourth month. Right now, I'm starting mounts that came in during July, so that's less that 6 months. A HUGE part of that is how fast the tannery turns the orders. At one time I was waiting 8 months for tanning alone. I've got my last few orders back in 45 days or less.

I tell everyone 10 months, but shoot for 6 to 8.
