Michelle Nelson rugging "Beware"

[180-GRAIN]

Let me know how that goes my fingers are sore from messaging her I am not a person who gets riled up very easy but feel something coming on. If anyone does get a message through to her let me know.

Have you tried messaging the FB page "Washington Bear Hunting?"  She's an admin on there - and is very active on it.

I didn't try that yet however I tried her taxidermy page twice and it shows you if she has read the messages or not. She's read mine and still will not make contact. I have also been leaving voicemails the last week in a half or so with no response.

As moderator on the FB page I doubt she will allow anulything negative to be posted about her.

According to facebook she replies with in minutes...

From what I've observed, here is a list of things that will not do anything constructive to resolve an overdue work issue:

- Complaining about her on Hunt WA. She hasn't been active on here for weeks and may never again.
- Leaving phone messages for her and expecting her to return the call.
- Leaving Facebook messages.

If you have overdue work with her, you will be ignored. She's made it abundantly clear that is her modus operandi.

"Insanity" - doing the same thing over and over, and expecting results to be different.

I'd be looking at different alternatives: legal actions and trying to get law enforcement involved are two things I would explore.

I've had dealings with Michelle before, luckily not as bad as many of you but it was very similar to several stories. If I were closer to her I'd help many of you out in stopping by her house to get your hide back, maybe we have a member on here who would be willing to do so? She's still in Rochester right?

The most recent Facebook thread is now deleted. Boooo....

That lady must have about 5 acres worth of freezers to keep that many years worth of hides in!

This made me laugh because last I saw, she only had a tiny chest freezer. I was always telling her to get a bigger one but she wouldn't.

  Sure is.

She left a post from me up telling her to contact such and such about so and so's elk. But she posted back that I could private message her about her personal business. Probably gone now though.

I think it was only left up because she had a few people agreeing with her... his bear was dropped off in 2009!!

[jackelope]

  Sure is.

Was it you that started it originally?

[skagitsteel]

Well you can add me to the list unfortanately..... I dropped off my bear in November 2012,  I was told 18 months, it has now been 3 years 4 months. I have been trying to get a hold of her for 3 months, left 5 voicemails.... Reading some of these stories it seems that my wait may not be over.   

[skagitsteel]

I am at the point of trying to get my rug back as is and have someone else finish it, if anyone is successful at getting there's back let me know!

[BigD]

I had the same dealings many of you have had, I decided to just show up and politely demand my cape and antlers back. Ended up talking with whom I assume was her husband, and he seemed like a stand up dude, he made arrangements and I had my items back the next day. I would highly recommend just showing up to claim your stuff or you may never get it back.

Sorry for all those affected by this. A good quality product does not make up for incredibly poor customer service unless you have a monopoly.
