“I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.” - Gen Douglas MacArthur

Go Back to Simpson Taxidermy Studio

General Schedule  2012

Please note - You will be called when your trophy is completed and ready to be picked up.   If I cannot reach you by phone, I will mail a postcard or e-mail you (if I have your e-mail address).    There is still a lot of work and many steps to be done after an animal is "mounted" before it is finished and ready to be picked up.  

 Be sure and notify me if you have a change of address or phone number.

Be sure you have paid your min. deposit of 50%.  I will send only 1 notice.  If your deposit is not paid when I am ready to order supplies, your mount will be skipped, no exceptions.
 

CURRENT SCHEDULE


UPDATED Jan 29, 2012

SUMMARY
I am working on the remaining animals that came in during the fall of 2009 - birds and gamehads.  I have the bears mounted or finished, all fish & small mammals are finished.  I have begun mounting the deer and other gameheads that came in prior to the 2009 gun season.  Once they are mounted, then I will mount the birds and then the gun season deerheads.  
As always, I thank you for your patience.
I have started a FaceBook page to allow easier communication for everyone.  I will try and post updates on my schedule, what mounts are completed and what I'm working on as well as photos and be able to answer your questions.  Look up Simpson Taxidermy Studio on FaceBook or click here -   Check out our new FaceBook Page  

            I have a new idea on how to reduce my backlog and  maintain a shorter completion time.  Read about it here.............

Explanation of the Mounting Stages
Birds
Stage 1 - Birds have been skinned and the feet injected with a plastic polymer.  This takes approx. 2 -3 weeks to cure and dry before I can paint them & begin putting the actual mount together.
Stage 2  - MOUNTED AND DRYING -  the actual mounting of the skins with the feet in the requested poses.  8 - 10 birds per week can be mounted at this stage.  
DRYING - takes approx 2 weeks for ducks & pheasants and 3 weeks for geese & turkeys.    While drying, bases and habitats are created.  
Stage 3 FINISHED -  birds are attached to the finished bases and ready to go.

MISC. - ANTLER MOUNTS, SKULLS, TURKEY TAILS, etc. 

Because these items are often completed between large groups of other mounts, I do not list them individually.

Antler mounts, traditional style - are generally done between April & August
European Mounts are generally finished within a couple months.
Turkey tail & beard are usually done by the end of August. 

Skull cleaning is done by a sub-contractor & usually takes about 4 months.
Tanning generally takes 4-6 months.  
Because these items are often between large groups of other mounts, I do not list them individually.
