waiting on taxidermy work

[srupp]

I have a few animals on the wall..and have never found it hard or difficult to wait for the animal to be completed. UNTILL NOW..:mrgreen:

Its coming up on 11 months and every day..every SINGLE day I wonder when my stone sheep ram will be ready:confused::roll:....its like day after day of the nite before Christmas,,,,,hmmm maybe cracking up in my old age..

I dropped off my 2008 bull on March 3rd of 2009. From the sounds of it I should get it by mid August or so.

The waiting is SO darn hard. A good quality taxidermist never seems to be super quick either...heh.

Taking it home the day you get it is like Christmas...mixed with some Redneck Redecorating!

[plumbcrazy]

Waiting isn't so bad if you know that the mount will eventually show up. Looks like i'm out 700$ and a roosie cap and the taxidermist isn't in business any more.

son of a b$tch thats scaring me to lose a valued trophy that sucks...

now I am more worried...

I am more proud of that stone sheep than any other animal I have shot....

Harley will probably do most of his sheep at one time, should be coming up soon. I was there a couple of weeks ago dropping off my horns and no sheep were started. I told him I would pick up last years sheep when i bring him this years stone in the first couple weeks of August.:-D

yes that is correct. I dont have any at the moment but there are a number of pics that have been posted before. Do a search of Harley white Taxidermy and you should get a few.

You need to take a deep breath, he has only had your sheep 10 1/2 months.

I might see him this weekend, i will ask when the sheep will be done.

ok stop hyperventalating..and breath deep...:wink:

Maxx thanx for saving my sanity by not posting the time for your cougar :mrgreen:......

I guess I always thought first in first out...hmmm never ever asked...:confused:..so when deer had been turned back I just "assumed" the sheep was done and I would get a call soon.....

Im sure it will be well worth the wait..................................

Longest I ever waited was 2 1/2 years for my first lion. Even though it took that long, I was not disappointed in the slightest by the work. Funny thing was my dad shot a lion after me and had his back before me. Neimyer did mine, Harley did my dad's. I have to say Harley has a pretty darn quick turnaround for a top-notch taxidermist. 11 months ain't long at all. Steve you won't be disappointed. It'll be well worth the wait.

[BimmerBob]

I waited over 7 years for a Bald Eagle from a Taxi just outside 100 Mile House. Paid the full amount when I dropped it off and thought I was never going to get it back...
