the hide from my deer went bad and it would be another couple months before I get him back. He has had my deer since October 2010 
Anybody had this problem before? How long does it take to get another hide?

I hope you're not paying for this shite. My 8pt did not take long at all...

how long does a taxidermist usually keep the deer for?

I WOULD GO GET MY RACK AND FIND ANOTHER TAXIDERMIST.

Depends how fast he seeks it.

My hide went bad one time, but i still got it back about 3 weeks late.

I wouldn't pay at all. My deer took about 3 months I would say.

I would think no more than 8 months at the MAX

Yeah, you definitely should have had it back before this hunting season. Especially if you brought it to him last October, which is at the beginning of the season. He should quit taking animals if he's that backed up.

Bad? WTF? The only way it would go bad is if the taxidermist left it out and forgot about it. Fire that arse and get your rack back ASAP! To get another hide, one has to go out and kill another deer and chances are it could be a doe that he screws you with.
FIRE that arse NOW! Normal turn around time is about 8 months.

Where do you take your deer? Mine have never taken that long... Usually turn around for me is 2 months tops

Any taxidermist worth a shite always has a few hides tucked away for just such an occasion..

i think mine took 3 months fwiw

I have had them take 8mos to a year. THe guy I use does exceptional work and stays backed up. I have zero problem with it taking that long and would use him even if he took longer then that. Now, the hide going bad is a different matter. What does he mean "went bad"? Did his freezer go out? If he replaces it and gets it done right, then no harm no foul, IMHO.
The key, IMO, here is what kind of work are we talking about? A great mount taking over a year is no problem. A mediocre mount taking that long is not good.
You boys saying y'all got your heads back in 3mos....damn, that's quickness!!
