Average reasonable taxi wait should be around 12-16 months. Anybody waiting for 2 years turnaround should be expecting a competition level finish or fire their taxidermist! There are plenty of acceptable level taxidermist around that we should never wait 2 years. 
  For any taxis that question this IMO you either overbooked or need to get off the phone and get to work..

I guess I'm not out there shopping for a mediocre job. If I can get the best of the best and it takes longer, then so be it. Now if the guy/gal told me it was going to be 24 months and it took 4+ years I'd freak out.
Under-promise and over-deliver. Key words in the customer service bizz.

I think the better the taxi, the longer the wait, I'm good with that. Its artwork you will own for the rest of your life.

Two years and my lack of any anxiety is worth the wait.  I guess I just am not so concerned with the wait as I am in getting exactly what I want back.  If I were woried the entire time it might have an effect on my patience, but I don't have a concern in the world.  I really am not all that bothered about traveling to drop off/pickup either.

Well said. I had a taxi do a few jobs for me, didn't take long but was not done well. Taxidermist needs to have a little artistic skill, he didn't seam to have much. I have a bear that is at a taxi right now, it's been awhile, but I'm hopeing to have a nice mount when done

I think you'll find that most of the taxidermists that are/were advertising on here currently and back in the early days of Hunt-WA take longer than 12-14 months, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find better work.
