I would call his lawyer, ask for his address, and then write a letter to the lawyer. Maybe the taxidermist will get some unwanted legal fees from it.


Great advice, mail him a letter every couple weeks cost you little to nothing, costs him $100 every time the lawyer opens a letter

Unfortunately this type of service/behavior is becoming more common. It's happened to me before. Nobody wants to do anything anymore, and if you dare question them, they want to have a meltdown.


Friend of mine does construction and he put a rant on Facebook today bitching about people who call him out to get a quote and don’t hire him. Went on and on about his time is valuable and it’s his gas to drive out and don’t contact him for quotes if you aren’t gonna hire him, and that he will start charging people just to show up and do a quote

I text him told him that’s a bad idea part of construction is people want several quotes for comparison to know they aren’t getting shafted. You get some jobs, you lose some. If you need to recoup time and gas costs for jobs lost just slip an extra small amount into the labor part of each quote but don’t announce it on social media like an a-hole

He sounds like an absolute dirt bag. How is he still in business?

I looked at his website, most of those mounts look like shite. One buck has the look in his eyes that bubba is behind him in the shower

Is the OB going in on his Google review page? Just wondering...


Still has 74 5* reviews on google. I guess everyone is waiting on the OP to pick up a deer?

6 minutes. Hopefully OP post after he gets the deer?

When yall say different deer, are y’all talking about the hide? That’s easy to replace, the racks are not.

I hope he got his deer but he hasn’t posted yet so he might be in jail by now. Does anyone know where we need to post bail?

One of my sons and a friend uses a Taxidermist here Alabama and the wait period for a return of a shoulder mount is about 1 year. He does great work and it’s worth the wait. He will return a call and tell you how many are left in front of you and a time frame for your mount. He is into his 35th year of taxidermy and may not work much longer.

All this to say that you are not wrong in pursuing some answers going into 2 years.

The deer I've referenced in the OP.

How I picked it up. Same antlers.

You talk about a pissy bitch. I texted him in his cul de sac stating "I'm at your mailbox". He replied he'd be there shortly and 5 minutes later came hauling arse down his driveway and whipped around my truck where I was standing. He handed me my rack and a cape wrapped in clear plastic and said "here's your rack and here's your cape. The cape you gave me was bad so here's the one I was going to replace yours with". I told him I didn't need a cape to just keep it. God he was pissy and said you'll need it for another taxidermist. I told him I wasn't taking it to another taxidermist and he pissily said "fine that's your decision" and walked back to his truck with the cape and drove back up his driveway. No discussion, no questions, just straight pissy. LOL. It was like I was dealing with an EX girlfriend giving me my things back. I kinda think he was surprised I showed up.

I'm going to bed, y'all have a good day hunting tomorrow!
