And the record is set straight again. Nothing is Michelle Nelson's fault, it's all her customers faults and they lie about everything!!!

Now, wake up this morning, sit down in front of your phone and call every single one of these people back, ask them what time they would like to don't get their animals and get on with your life. It's pretty easy to get all this talk about you to stop.

Buckhorn2,

I have posted every FB Message / Conversation we have had on FB bellow, so youcan see what i am seeing on my screen.  Which has been our main source ( 95% ) of our communication, outside of the day you and your Son dropped off the Bull.  This is everything I have received and sent to you since you were here dropping off the Bull.  I haven't received anything recently from you.  If I had I would have replied.  I have always replied to your messages in the past and sent you updates. 

I did not know my Inbox on Hunting Washington was full.  I don't think it has ever been full.  I guess I am use to having unlimited room as a mod.  Didn't even think about it.  This is the first I knew about it being full.  I will work on going through some of the messages and getting them cleared out.  Though I do not get on here often to check them.

You said you've tried calling and that my Voice Mail was full.  I do not remember exactly what month it was.  It was probably between October and December.  My VM was full twice.  Two Days and back to back but they were only full for about an hour each day.  I hadn't the time the first day to go through all my old Messages and delete them, I went through the new ones and a few old but it wasn't enough.  That would have to have been the day you tried to call me.  It must have just been that one time (?) because I don't remember seeing any of your Phone Numbers on my caller ID before or after that.  :dunno:

I've made multiple Calls and Texts to your Son (who shot the Bull) and he has never returned any of them.  I know he runs a fishing/crab operation and totally understand he can be very difficult to get a hold of as a result of being on the Ocean.  I've left messages and Texts.  I didn't feel the need to call him every day and leave messages because I didn't want to fill up his Voice Mail.  Same reasoning for sending him Text's it doesn't fill his Voice Mail.

 You guys gave me $300 when you guys dropped off the Bull.  I've got roughly $1000 into the mount as of right now.  Between the Replacement Cape, Salt, Shipping to and from the Tannery, the Form, and Supplies.  That's not including my labor up to this point.

Please tell me why it is I would ignore a message or call from you if I had seen a message or a Call?  :dunno:  If you would have been able and had left me a Voice Message I would have called you back.  I always have in the past.  It's not as if the Horns could have fallen apart so there really isn't anything that could have been going on to prevent me from returning the messages.  Other than I haven't received any additional FB Messages since I sent you the message about Africa.

Buckhorn2: are you healing up.
Michelle: Ohh yes.
Buckhorn2:  Good that looked like it hurt.
Michelle:  It deffinitaly tickled a little.  5 stitches
Buckhorn2:  Be careful hunting season coming
Michelle:  I know.  Not sure I am 100% ready, lol
Michelle:  You guys been bear hunting yet?
Buckhorn2:  Saw about a 150 pound one up a tree last night we have seen 4 but no shooters yet.

09/23/2012 9:02AM

Buckhorn2:  when is your elk hunt.

09/24/2012 3:27PM

Michelle: I don't have one schedualed.  I have the Multi Season Tag.  Not sure if I am going to get any time to use it.

12/11/2012 5:15PM

Michelle: Howdy
Buckhorn2: How are things
Michelle: Things are going alright.
Buckhorn2: Been some rain over here people out clam digging tonight.
Michelle: I've never been clam digging.
Buckhorn2: more fun in the summer.
Michelle:  well I bought a Bison cape a littl while back.  Real nice cape.  but it is borderline as far as if it will be big enough
Buckhorn2: If not hope Dale comes through.
Michelle: but I talked to another taxidermist a few months ago that has 2 at the tannery.  One he thinks might fit the bll.  He won't know until he gets them back some time in January
Buckhorn2: Thanks Michelle
Michelle: How old was the bull your son shot?
Buckhorn2: They never said
Michelle: I was guessing between 7 and 9 y/o I just wanted to check and see if they told you.
I measured the neck on your bull and it was 48".  The cape I bought is around 48", but whether it stays 48" after it is tanned will be the question.  Do you have any pictures of the bull after you killed it that you can E-mail me?
Buckhorn2: I will look.

02/09/2013 5:59PM

Michelle: Hey Del

02/10/2013 8:42AM

Buckhorn2: Hi how you doing did you get over the flu.

02/10/2013 1:10PM

Michelle: Pretty much.  Still hacking though.

Michelle:  I wanted to give you an update on the bison, but some things may have changed today so I will have to get back to you as soon as I hear back from this other taxidermist.  I might have access to 2 more Bison Capes.  I know one is roughy the right size but it has a brown head.  The other one he said is WAY HUGE (not sure on measurments) but I believe has a black head.  Both are mid september capes though.

Michelle: Problem is I think he may have sold one.  He sent me a message and I didn't get it til today about someone else being interested in one of them.  So I am checking back with him.

02/10/2013 3:46PM

Buckhorn2: Thanks Michelle we know it;s hard for you to find one just wish ours was;nt bad.

Michelle: I wish it wasn't either.  It deffinitally would make this a lot easier.  I honestly didn't think it was going to be this difficult to find one.  Your son asked for one with a black head and I want to do everything I can to find it or him.  People that kill big bulls like that tend to want them mounted so there are not a whole lot of capes available.  I promise you your cape was in really bad shape from all the rubbing that bull had done.  You will be able to see the diference I hope once Your sons bull has a new one.  I have 1/2 dozen Cape suppliers on the look out for a Cape.  I am also checking the taxidery Clasifieds every few days for listings on capes.  One of my main concerns is not getting scammed by someone who claims to have one and I either pay for it and not get one or it end up being junk. If it were just a deer cape and $125 that not a big deal but when we are talking $400-$1000 for a bison cape that a hard leason to learn.  Plus I want to find you a quality cape.

01/15/2014 6:06PM

Michelle: Been trying to get ahold of your son.  Ive tried calling a couple times and his voice mail is full and wont accept messagesm. Sent him a text and havnt heard from him.  Figgure he is busy fishing or crabing.  Im ready to get a form ordered I just need to go over poses with him.

01/16/2014 9:22AM

Buckhorn2: He has been out in the ocean crabbing. When he comes in I will have him call you.

01/16/2014 7:09PM

Michelle: Yeah I figured he was busy.  No worries.   Thanks for letting him know.

02/25/2014 5:47PM

Buckhorn2: Do you ever feel like strangling someone. You control your temper better than I could what an ass hat.

02/26/2014 5:45AM
Michelle: How much proof do I have to post in that thread before people will see the guy is lying?  I logged off and I don't have any plans to return until I want to.  I can not believe people believed him.  Its BS.  Trust me it is taking everything g I have not to go on there and cuss him.

BTW, I still have not heard from your son.   :)  I figgure he is real busy.  Don't want to add any undo stress on him.

04/17/2014 9:13PM

Michelle: Want to go to Africa in May 2015?

You can say you didn't get any messages from Del, which I doubt to be the case, but I know for sure you got messages from me telling you he was looking to speak with you since at least March 6th. Did you acknowledge any of those messages I sent and call him or message him back?

What about the messages you received from 180-Grain? Facebook and voicemails? Surely you got those?

My response to this disaster is 100% accurate based on facts and my personal experience from your own actions and your own statements. Don't like it: Clean up house! Quit with the bs excuses, get people's work done or give it back. Face it, you are a great taxidermist but fully deserve an F with your inability to run a business.

As this now seems like it might be the only viable way her customers are able to get any updates on the status of their work, I'd like to attempt to keep this civil so Michelle keeps responding. Please keep that in mind out of respect for her customers who can't seem to get any response any other way.
Thanks.

 :chuckle:


Michelle has never appeared to be in a pinch for getting business.  It seems as tho it would be fairly simple for people to come up with some sort of resolution.  This might include anything from doing nothing and completing the process already started to meeting up to pick up your capes/mounts as is....to anything in between. 

I'd love for this public forum to be an example of this situation being worked out to the satisfaction of the customer.  (No, you can't ask for it yesterday)  A lot of eyes seem to be on this.  For the benefit of all involved, as well as for others who may read this years from now, the quicker there is an agreement the better.

I wish all parties a quick resolution whatever that may be. 

Keep us posted.  I think the whole real situation will be very clear in 30 days.

Well.....let me try it this way.


There are some customers on here that claim they can't get a hold of her.  She has shown some proof of some communication as well as encouraged folks to contact her.

So far, so good!

I think with the attn on communication, 30 days should be enough to get an agreement sorted out with those customers who can't get an answer.  If the mods would allow, as well as control the folks piling on, I think customers who are looking for communication can just post they are attempting to get a hold of her, she will then know and it can be followed up with the customer saying an agreement has been made.

In the end, there should be no excuses. 

It's my hope that the MNT bashing threads go extinct.  I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, just saying get it sorted out and only continue to "squeek" if you can't get a reasonable resolution.

Just my .02
