Default Best turnaround time for bear taxidermy?

Just to be prepared and save myself some research. Who has the best work/turnaround time for bears close to Edmonton?

Shane Laye from Rangeline Taxidermy is the best in our opinion. The BuckFever boys actually just got some mounts back from him. We will be posting shortly and you can see for yourself the quality of work that he does.

x2. He did a my mule deer from this season when I went to pick it up almost a month ago I saw a couple of bears that he had done and a couple he was working on. Really great work, if the spring bear season brings me a big black bear that's where I would go.

Turn around time was unbelievable on my deer.

Quality is way more important than turn around time. Quick turnaround time might indicate someone to avoid as well. the good good guys are very busy.

I'm sorry but after looking at the gallery on that guys website there is no bloody way I'd be endorsing or taking my work there.
Some stuff is OK. At best. Other stuff looks like the deer are stoned. Smiling. Wrong eye shape. That one sheep's eyes look like no sheep eye I've ever seen before. A mulie with leg longer than the other (bad form modification or lack thereof). Geesh.
And let's not forget that this is the best stuff he has. Or at least it should be if that is what is on the website to promote the product. What left that didn't make the cut?

Best work and quick turn around time do not go hand in hand. There are 2-3 sponsors on this forum that all do amazing work. Silver willow taxidermy and sugar creek taxidermy are both phenomenal shops, the other name escapes me right now.
