Quite a while ago I got an email form my taxidermist saying they had received my raw materials and what postions did I want so I wrote back and haven't heard from them since. I've been assuming this means they got my reply and they're working on it, but in the back of my mind I can't help but wonder.

Am I just paranoid and the wheels are in motion or are they still waiting on my reply or worse yet so busy they forgot?

Now you will hear from them only when they want to be paid!If the e-mail was not returned as a bad address they got it.

Better to contact him and make sure all is on schedule.If you assume that he got the instructions and has proceeded you may be in for an unpleasant surprise.

It would have been nice had he confirmed receipt of your instructions but since he hasn't then I would contact him to be sure.Cannot hurt at all and may help a lot.How can you lose by contacting him for a progress report.

next time instead of letting it up to the PH to see that his buddy (the taxidermist) gets your horns and skins (so he gets his kick back) make arrangements to have them dip/shipped home and have a peaceful night's sleep!
