 I commend you on not turning this thread into ANOTHER "Trash the Taxi" dog-pile. It shows allot of character on your part.  Seems like when a thread like his is started its like blood in the water and there are some that are just chomping at the bit to swim up and take a bite.  Your focus to get the quality mount you want supersedes the desire to rant and trash the shop that did your initial work thereby almost eliminating the possibility of an equitable outcome. Blindsiding a business with a negative internet review and then approaching them to make it right leaves you very little leverage to to be treated well. I'm not saying that this shop shouldn't be held accountable for turning out substandard work. I'm simply saying that your approach in dealing with this problem shows an incredible amount of maturity and integrity. Great Example to others THANKS


Best of luck

Man, that's the Joan Rivers of the deer world.   

I am totally going to steal that line

[mrmoskillz]

Can't wait to see the remount!

[elk247]

  nice buck! That dude will be looking sharp.

[bow4elk]

Ugh! Such a disappointment...sounds like you've got a great plan to a happy ending here, just hope you can approach the other taxidermist and work out a fair refund.  When the dust settles, we'll get him officially measured

 Looking forward to seeing the new mount.

[Kc_Kracker]

[deerhunter_98520]

[jackmaster]

[JohnVH]

gives me flashbacks of my antelope head I had done a few years ago, worse mount I have ever seen, still pisses me off

[Jonathan_S]

That mount is an instant classic!

Meaning that the minute is was finished it looked 50 years old

 

[JohnVH]

lol! I was thinking the exact same. It looks like one of those mounts that you would see in a old bar or something.

[Ripper]

Yup, I have to say, that was one ugly mount. I'm glad they refunded you. I'm just curious as to what their excuse was? Are they new or what? Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing the new one.
