Amazing first post.   Opinions are always welcome, but some are scrutinized.  This particular taxidermy business has a formidable reputation.  Your expectations are unreasonable, and the coherency of your presentation probably speaks for itself. 

We have had some businesses on here torn to shreds, but they generally earn their reputations for a reason.  I do not think this is or will be the case here.

To the OP, Had you paid him anything besides the deposit? Most people don't realize what a tough buisiness that is to operate. I have found that if you are making payments regularly, that will help get your mount back sooner. You have to realize that process takes alot of tiime, and if you rush any of it, you will be able to tell in the finised mount. I have a 3 pt BT they did for me 20 yrs ago, and it still looks great.

I would like to see pictures of the "head" you gave to Rainier, the date it was harvested and approximately where. With only one post on this forum and that one being a huge slam to a respected taxi, I have my doubts about this story. I would also like to get the taxi's side of this, so the OP may need to post his name or at least the exact date the head was dropped off.

Rainier Taxidermy does great work and the owner is a stand up guy.

My guess is that you left a nasty message and got put to the back of the line. They always have work going on there and are busy, but my stuff has always been around a year give or take a little. The owner is very serious about his business, but also the kind of guy that is not going to sit there and take crap then kiss your behind in my opinion.

I'd like to see the whole thread nuked if the OP doesn't reply. One post bash with no follow up is pretty much a smear campaign. We don't even know if he really had work in progress.

I agree, but for a different reason. I think this is great advertising for Rainier Taxidermy with all of the responses. This will slow down my next project there with his increase in business.

I agree, nuke it. The guy hasn't re-posted and substantiated any of his claims. I have a real hard time believing the eyes were still in the skull over a year later. It sounds like bull.

Last time I was there in early November zack was showing us the pile of antlers that had been brought in and they were all cleaned up in a pile waiting to be mounted. Even ones that were just brought in.

Why nuke it.  Just makes the OP look like a troll.   Nothing but good things said about this great taxidermist.  Heck, a free plug from all that are happy.  Anyone that searches this is going to find that this taxidermist is well liked and has been established and has met everyones expectation except a one time poster.  heck, even testimony about mounts lasting for years.   I have some(from a different taxidermist) that I thought were great but deterioted several years afterwards.   All good to hear about this business.    Businesses live and die on the internet now.   Its our policy to keep it as transparent as possible.   I think I see a clear picture with this thread.

Lets see some pics of their work.  I will post a pic of my dads blacktail from at least 25 years ago.  Not positive it is the same guy, but definitely the same taxidermist shop. 

Pics to come shortly....

beware he a joke,, took a head in to have him mount,13 months still no head called him 30 times, never called back ,so today went there left my deposit took my head back still had eyes in skull dont use this guy  beware

My family has been taking our mounts to Zach for 20 years. He has always been polite and great to work with. I also know I will get a quality product back even though it will be gone for a long time. When he used to mount small game, fish and big game it would take close to 2 years. Now he will mostly only do big game and I still expect it to take awhile. I don't mind waiting for a buck that will look life like and have a neck that is as large as when I shot it.

On a side note, I personally don't care to eat wildgame that has been processed by a butcher because most don't take the time to remove fat and white tissues=nasty game taste. I took a tour of the butcher shop at Rainier Tax. and they butcher wild game properly by deboning and removing white tissues and fat.

Zach cares about giving a quality product whether it is a mount, rug or butchering and I respect that. I would definately like it done sooner, but o'well if it doesn't, I know I am getting the best!
