A big part is tannery. And timing at the Tannery and how much he uses a particular tannery. IE the tannery will no doubt try and speed along a guy who sends them more capes to tan. Same deal goes for your mount. If you're the Taxidermist and you have two guys that brought you a deer the same exact day but one client spends 15k a year with you, and the other client spends 200 a year then obviously the 15k/year client will get his mount done first. Gotta keep your bigger accounts happy so they continue to be your bigger accounts. It's nothing personal, just business. So at the end of the day it's the Tannery as well as Taxidermist work load as well as the relationship with your Taxidermist. Hope this helps. And if you chose the right Taxidermist, the results are always worth waiting for.
