I have never had any issues with mine either. Maybe these people should not be looking in the Yellow Pages or searching cheapest taxidermy. I found mine by recommendation of a friend. He’s not the cheapest and he’s not the fastest. But he does a dang good job, communicates throughout the process, and is always quick to text or call me back if I have any questions. I can’t imagine Taxidermist not calling you back. I would be at their house/shop knocking on the door demanding my stuff back as soon as we were past the first estimated date and that was not communicated. My current full body bear mount is pushed out because he had a freezer start to go down and needed to get some of the smaller stuff done. But he communicated, asked if it would be OK, and was not a problem at all because he communicated
