Fisher could be different, but I know several waterfowl taxidermists around me have been unable to get the foam bodies they need for the mount. I guess they are floating around on one of those cargo ships out there
Gotta live up to the nickname...

My last moyles shipment was 6 months ago and haven't got it back yet Usually a 3 or 4 month turnaround. Going to call them after the new year. Figure everything is slower since the Wuhan hit

Don't know about a fisher but my silver fox was about 4 months. I don't know how to post pics but if you click on my link and go to small animal section you'll be able to see him. http://solitudetaxidermy.ca/

^^^^^^^^ This is 100% spot on I just retired out of taxidermy and was fed up with the calls. Some people, not all seem to forget that you told them a certain timeframe and, 3 months later they are on the phone wondering how's my mount coming along? The people look around in your shop and see the freezers. most of the time they are full and most cases I told them they are full of work. The squeaky wheel in my experience is the person you call that the mount is completed and they tell you they have to save up for it !

Oh man, does this thread ever give me a knot in my gut. I worked 6 and 7 days a week for year after year, and with very few exceptions, I met my deadlines with room to spare. Those "when will it be done" calls do nothing to speed the process. Believe me, I know there are guys out there that drizzled out their work and dragged their feet in a big way.......those are the the ones that gave the rest of us a bad name. It ain't a taxidermy thing, it's a human thing. Some guys are crooks, some guys are lazy, some are just simply not as fast at getting work out the door. I guess my advice to Mr. Woodchuck is to stop over to see the guy/gal and see what's what. I was retired well before Covid, but have numerous friends still plugging away at it, and to a man/woman, they are having a terrible time getting tanned capes/hides back from the tannery, as well as getting material orders delivered. Covid has goofed up every darn thing in the way of supply and demand. Boy am I glad I am retired.
Good luck, woodchuck.

I dropped off a 32" 12.5 lb walleye and a$ 200 deposit in 2006 and have not heard anything from him. I'm guessing he ate it.
