Buyer BEWARE!!! (Cascade Taxidermy)

[Band]

The lesson here is never, EVER screw a person who might post on HuntWA or you will live to regret it.

This is one taxidermist I will permanently take off my list.  He lost my potential business well before he sent the e-mail claiming not to have done the bear rug but when he lied about doing that work, he showed his true character.  I would never do business with a person known to be dishonest!  Not a chance!

Thanks for the info I won't use them and they should refund ALL your money.

Another thread on another forum.....

What a headache.  I read that entire taxidermy thread and the threatening letter the guy sent over to his client.  Don't care what kind of work he does, with deminer like that I wouldn't take crap to him.

Gee, I don't know....that bear rug is definitely better than no rug...

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 would rather have no bear than one that looked like that. What good is it? I sure wouldn't display it in my house.  I would have left it with the taxidermist and demanded a refund or that it be done right.

Being cheap I have only ever done euro mounts. Stories like this make me scared to pay for a shoulder mount given $700 for deer and $1,300 for elk are the norm in my area.

You can't take your rug to get fixed by another taxi, if you never get it back in the first place from your first taxi......  I think everyone agrees that the rug in the picture looks pretty amateurish.

This has to be the best roller coaster ride I have been on in a long time. I feel real sorry for all of the victims in this case. Do you think the whole truth is out yet?

Bean Counter, go to (Craig) Pearson Taxidermy in Prescott.  My cousin down there has a room full from Craig.  I have a coues and a euro from him.  All 10 or so are incredible.

Ok I'll look him up! Thanks.

I am good with the post now and believe the OP.  Hope he understands that we see a lot of one hit wonder posts, one very recent about Ranier.  We as a group get a little skeptical about the first post being a bash on a business. 

Sorry to hear about the bear rug.  Cascade Taxidermy

I visited his shop around '07 or '08, work on display looked pretty good, but nobody is going to use substandard work to show potential clients. Thought he went out of business a couple years later. He's back? Sounds like a lot of people are unhappy with work and customer service.

He has been "reviewed" on here before...

That other thread from 2009 had a guy with the forum handle "hunter1971" post in it claiming that Nathan does great work.  Guess what?  hunter1971 = Nathan.  I figured that out when I read the post from Nathan on Taxidermy.net where he goes by Cascade1971. 

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.

I have had alot of animals mounted by Cascade Taxidermy and they all have come back in mint condition. Nathan does very good work and I would recommend him to everyone. I have never had a problem with Cascade Taxidermy. Its to bad that there are people out there that like to slander people's name for pety stuff. Nahan does great work and alot of mine friends use nathan and they are very happy with his work.
