Michelle Nelson rugging "Beware"

[wildweeds]

She's on my no fly list as well as my local taxi Wildlife Art Taxidermy. You don't take in work and respond to a check in call 5 years later with " Birds don't make me any money". EVEN when I offered to pay far more at the onset. Guy does great work but I would saw off and nail a 200 inch mule deer set or a 350 inch elk to the side of the barn before I went to him. When a hillbilly says he will pay deer head price for a Hungarian partridge mount your a dummy for not stuffing the bird.

Ouch!  Now she is not returning calls to those that were once supporters.

I really feel for you guys that have been taken for a ride.

Same here.  This is the taxidermy equivalent of hoping ISIS lets your captive loved one free.  Fat chance, no matter what you do.

It's too bad everyone doesn't do a simple Google search before they put their trophy in the hands of a taxidermist.

No answer. Tried messaging on hunt wa. but mail box full. Here is the last message from her on here. OCT 20 2013 I got the bison cape from the tannery yesterday. Got it hydrated and measured today it has a dark head and winter hair and is a beautiful cape. I got it for way less than the 800 we talked about. I need to get ahold of your son to choose a form. My son was working in California so I told her just straight ahead on the form. Never heard from her again messaged many times on facebook when I see her on but no reply. Don't understand because if she bought a cape like she said she would want payed or something sure like to get at least the skull back it scored 106.

I would have been knocking on her door atleast 1 year ago  feel bad for ya

The folks having problems may consider splitting a lawyer and going after her. I feel sorry for everyone who keeps getting duped!

At this point with some of the timelines given I would think this could end up being criminal. 
Taking money  and promising delivery of a product and not delivering the product is called theft.   I would have her in small claims court at the very least.  A call to the local LEO could help get things in motion.
If enough legit complaints are filed she can lose her business license as well.
Hate to see it happen, but maybe that's the best thing for her.

this stuff has been going on way too long.  This topic has been going on as long as the Bigfoot thread!

  I put a post on Washington state hunting fb page telling her that people could not reach her.
  She said it is not that hard to get her if you need to. She said to simply call her.

it's pretty funny over on facebook.

I id try messaging her many times on facebook but no reply.Tryed on the eye phone but mailbox full. At least I would like the skull back. She even wrote to me a couple years ago and said she had purchased a cape for it as ours was;nt good It was a real big bull it scored like 106 big for a bow. Did,nt want to post anything negative on facebook becase it,s her business but I see her on and she just won't answer so something must be up.

Try posting on the Washington Bear Hunting Facebook page. She is the moderator there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/664242296945519/

Oh no 

LOL Oops. Someone spoke too soon.

[Taco280AI]

I don't understand why so many of you haven't taken her to small claims court for the return of your property and money. It isn't hard. No lawyers involved. Just prove your case to what probably happened is what it essentially comes down to.

If she doesn't want to contact you, doesn't want to finish your work, doesn't want to refund you, and only wants to take your money do something about it.

Everyone who let's her get away with it is just setting the next person up for the same thing. Do something about it.

I think for those of you who are waiting without answers....




IT'S PRETTY CLEAR WHAT YOU ARE DOING ISN'T WORKING 




Time to try something else...

I do not understand how there are not more reviews in more places to alert people about the type of business they're choosing to become a part of. 

How are there not yelp, facebook or google reviews for people to share experiences?  Are hunters too "mind your own business" to share experiences with others or are these reviews being removed per business request?

I have an experience that I'm happy to share with any customers, but am wary of posting on a public forum with my screen name attached.  If anyone would like to PM me that'd be fine.  Perhaps I'm part of the problem.
