Buyer BEWARE!!! (Cascade Taxidermy)

[MLBowhunting]

His taxidermy is crappy and he is a liar.  Get a rope

The conspiracy theories on this thread are epic.

Another thread was just brought to my attention by someone who had a bad experience with the same taxidermist. This was 4 1/2 years ago. I'm surprised he's still in business.

Tomorrow   I will put the king 5 headline story on my computer and take a picture on the rug.

I stand corrected

Here at the pictures of my mount I got from Nathan at Cascade taxidermy as I said I would. As you can see from the 3 close up pictures there's separation between the cap and the antlers, paint on parts of the antler, and the stitching on the top of the head is pretty bad. When you pull the hair back you can see a pretty good gap and the actual thread holding it together. The other 3 pictures are just for reference. As I said you while hanging its not noticeable, that's why I never bothered to take it somewhere else.

Better than a burnt pile of ash.

 I took my deer to Cascade Taxidermy in Nov 2012 to get mounted. He said it would be done in Sept 2013. I called in September 2013 and it was not completed, he said a couple more weeks. (He had got super busy) No big deal, it is what it is. Couple more weeks went by I called again, oh we are working on it, its drying. Ok a couple weeks more same story...I call him again, it still drying. I start getting a bad feeling about all this. I called him and told him I was coming to see the deer and how it was progressing. He then proceeds to tell me his dad passed away. Through the grapevine I found out this wasn't true. I then called telling him I was coming to pick up the deer and taking it somewhere else to get it finished. He wasn't home but he had a friend put it out for me.  Great, thanks. I got the deer; the hide was still in a pickle; not tanned, not even started after Nathan stating it had been drying for months. The cape is no good. It’s missing huge chunks of the hair. I had to get a new cape. I texted him and send the cape is no good, he send too bad you took it it’s yours. Be a professional, own up to your work. And then he told me that I should have mounted it myself. Who would say that to someone? I guess at least maybe I would have my horns on the wall. And not out the money that he REFUSED to refund me. The unprofessionalism Cascade Taxidermy has shown throughout this whole process is unheard of and ridiculous and gives taxidermists a bad reputation. So when Nathan stated in the other buyer beware post about never having an unsatisfied customer I figured it was time to tell my story.

Hopefully many people find this thread on a Google search and it saves many people heartache.  The OP may consider putting Cascade Taxidermy in the title of this thread.

I'm confused....is that a serious comment ? there is no way in hell someone could say that after looking at the "rug" pictured in the thread.. I guess I'm just too tired to get the humor in that post....unfortunately for the person who dropped the rug off at the taxi he was force fed a sh*t sandwich and I don't see how anyone can defend it.

I really feel bad for someone getting screwed by a taxi

Shouldn't the Better Business Bureau be notified

Me too. Go through all the hard work of getting a quality animal and not only have the animal treated terribly but get treated the same way personally. What a bummer.
