Michelle Nelson rugging "Beware"

[billythekidrock]

I want to point out something.  There are a LOT of taxidermists that send there rugs out to be rugged.  Most don't know or are not set up for doing that part.  I do everything in house.

A few years ago Hoyt_Alaska offered to pay my airfair up to AK house and feed me in exchange for me to get him set up and teach him how to Rug his own animals.  I declined because I was behind from all the things going on in 2010/2011. 

In 2013 I put the offer on the table that if he would pay for the plane ticket down here I would house and feed him.  Along with teaching him in detail how to do the Rug work on his animals.  Everything from start to finish.

If you look up taxidermy schools you can see what they charge for a week of instruction.  I offered this to him for free. 

I don't know all of the details but Michelle has mentioned this to me on more than a couple occasions.

Come on guys, if saying I'm calling the law or the fish n game is a threat, then I'm guilty.. No threats were made in physical harm to anyone. To say I'm ticked off would be a understatement.  Seems we have to communicate on here vs the phone..that's sad,

Id love to post up a copy and paste of all the delays and excuses. But my iPhone screen is too small to capture em all. Well see what mr. Alexander says Monday and I'll get on a laptop and copy paste all the details.

So is the whole lawyer thing a threat? What are you suing her for?

And all I'm saying is don't offer the service if your not going to be the one preforming it or you be very clear with your clients about what work is being out sourced. I don't know about all you other guys but I don't like anything I own or plan on owning being in hands of somebody I haven't put research into.

[stevemiller]

  Exactly, and I also dont see him giving any props to the people doing this work on his facebook site so his customers must think he is doing all the work.I def. would not want any of my stuff sent out of state to be done.

It's to have felt sewn around the edge of a rug, wholesale ruggers do this, ie: Michelle Nelson rugging.  trust me, I have plenty of work Steve. Nice try though,

Nice try? wasnt trying anything, you are. if you cant do a job dont take it on.Isnt that what you are saying here about Michelle?

you realize lots of taxi's use ruggers, and tanneries, and other outside aka outsourcing?  if you dont know this I suggest you step back and study a bit.  I know some of the best taxi's out there outsource components of their work because their time is valuable and their skill in finish work is what is being paid for not their skill in tanning or sewing or even gluing and stretching. 

[Michelle_Nelson]

The reason Taxidermists outsource there Rugging and Tanning is because it takes a LOT of space and most taxidermists don't have that kind of space.

I know a lot of taxi'a use tanneries all I'm saying is they better tell me they do and what tannery they are using so I can research everybody involved. Otherwise I am going to be very upset and I will let them know and they will never see another product from me.

You may want to work up a list of questions to ask based on what type of work you are having done.

Some will take your bird/fish/rug and send it to some one who specializes in that work and then the original taxi will do the finish work.

Most will not tell you this is being done and most customers won't know the difference.

He should get the info on who makes the eyes, the form, the adhesive's.  I wonder if he knows who cut the wood that a pedestal was made out of.
What about the grocery store and that jar of mustard.  Can't have a jar of mustard without knowing who made it.
Man, it must be difficult going thru life being so in control of everything in your world.

that would surprise me that a fish and wildlife officer would go get your stuff.this is a civil matter if your telling the truth the courts will deal with it in your favor if not in her favor.

 

I'm sure they'll go check it out, cites and all that.   I highly doubt he'd seize it and ship it back though

Welcome to the Michelle Nelson's Taxidermy bashing forum . I have noticed she doesn't frequent the site like she used to and is not a global moderator nor sponsored taxidermist on the forum anymore.

She doesn't have to be sponsored anymore.  She gets lot's of free advertising these days.  Pages worth.
