    Looks great, if you dont mind me asking how much did it run you? Did it cost more for it to be expedited?

    Nice mount and great turnaround time. I have that beat, though. My taxidermist does his own tanning and he is really fast. I shot a buck in Montana on September 3, took it to the taxidermist here in Minnesota on September 6. On September 17 he called me and told me it was done. 11 days. I have had him do a lot of stuff and even during the busy times his turnaround is never more than 4 months, even when he has to ship hides out to tan (like bears, he doesn't tan them himself).

    645 as is....he charges 525 without habitat....no cost for expediting....he does everything in house so its a lot faster and I was his first drop off of the year is all

    Thanks for the kind words gentleman....I love how the memories come flying back when I look at all my different mounts....they are worth every penny to me

    Awesome! I'm My guy does the same; all work is done in-house, average turn around time is 5-6 weeks (if dropped off before gun season) @ a base price of $450. Should get mine back by Christmas.
