Please for my own reference provide me with the time in hours it takes you to do these mounts start to finish (including with a fleshing machine), and price you charge. as well as how much the average shop has for a turn around time. Thanks.

What you are asking in this post (and your other one) will not necessarily equate to YOUR cicumstances...it varies greatly from region to region. The amount of time it takes me to mount a lifesize bear may be nowhere near the amount of time it may take you. Who's to say? I don't think the comparisons will yield you much useable information.

My contracts say 24 months. We are in all actuality running about 14 months. It makes no difference what it is. everything is done in the order the deposit is paid. So an antler mount is going to take the same 14 months as the full body elk.
