[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 113467, member: 843"] I have spent some time in a well run full time shop (2-3 taxidermist) and from what I gathered and saw, a 1 year law would make it more difficult and more $$. To keep things as efficient as possible they would seem to focus on different things at different times. They would do a big group/batch of walleyes at a time, deer shoulder mounts at a time, African animals, European skulls, bear rugs/mounts, birds, etc. Each one of these items requires different tools, different paint, different forms, etc. Most of the tanning, rug, pelt work is sub'd out to tanneries and specialty shops so you can save on shipping/paperwork/communication if you ship over 1 large batch at a time. The paint booth is optimized for the different setups as well. tips/guns/paint colors etc. So given that, if a guy drops off a bear hide right when they are in the middle of the other bears, it might not be touched for another year when they get to the bears again. If that year they got in excess fish or lots of deer, or one client with 20 African animals it could back up the regular sequence they have for a few additional months. [/QUOTE]
