Needless to say I wont be going back there. I can take picture when I get home from work tonight and post. Its nothing horrible, I would grade it about B quality work. Just after all of the great mounts I see on this forum it wasn't fully what I was expecting. I was more upset about the continued lying than anything. This is something I just don't understand - why is lowballing the time needed to do the work seem to be a "standard practice" in taxidermy? I would think that a fairly priced, above-average taxi with an actual desire to give a customer the straight dope about how long it is going to take would have all the work they wanted.That said, after reading this if I went to a taxi and they offered me a different deal for different lead times, I would go somewhere else unless I was willing to put up the money and get the faster lead time. You know that your work just became "low priority" compared to the guy that comes in behind you and is willing to pay 100% up front. Enough of those guys and you may never see your deer back...

Does this look like $1200 worth of work?
Pilgrims...........nuff said.
I wish I had pictures. I don't have an agenda, just like the title, BUYER BEWARE. Nathan was unreasonable and called me names for his poor work. I have taken dozens of big game animals and do all my own caping (Minus Africa), he blames the cape.
