TRAILS END TAXIDERMY dayton wa.

[Kuduman]

Here's the answers to your questions.  Now let's put this to rest I know I am !!!

Cory  came to my shop on different occasions to drop off pintails the first three were 2 of his and 1 of a friend James Hunt. this is perfectly legal.  the second trip was 2 additional birds.of his. He only wanted three birds and gave me two. HE picked out his three and I took the remaining 2 birds and till have them in my showroom. ALL perfectly legal. Just so everyone knows. You can give away federal migratory waterfowl you just can't sell it. Unless they are raised in captivity by a breeder.
 
Now as far as I know once they have been legally checked in to a taxidermist they are no longer considered in possession.
a few weeks later when I was showing him how to mount one of his pintails he showed me a citation issued from Sgt. Ken Jundt for over the limit on Pintail.

How stupid must I have felt knowing that 5 birds were in my shop and he just got busted for over limit. The more shocking aspect was his admission that he "just couldn't help himself that it was one of those days that the pintails were flying good and he took an extra one and got caught." He stashed the bird behind the blind and when Sgt. Jundt approached he denied shooting the bird after awhile he admitted to taking the bird and got the citation. Now in Cory's defence he did seem contrite but who wouldn't ...PATHFINDER you need to come to the realization that you got fed a line ......Just like me. This is Word for Word what Cory told me in my shop !

That's when I wrote this kid off and it became strictly business with this guy. He put me in a very awkward position, possibly storing illegally taken birds in my shop. Cory kept trying to foster a friendship but I would have nothing to do with that. Over the next two years He dropped off 3 capes and a load of driftwood that I didn't ask and wasn't home when he dropped it off.  I told him that the capes were to small and that he could have them back but he never took them. I told him I didn't need the driftwood but according to him it was a gift.the whole time he was running a tally because remember in my initial post to him FRIEND = FREE TAXIDERMY

I'm done with this thread. I'm intirely to busy to follow this circus. I can sleep well at night knowing that I've treated ALL my customers equally

Unfortunately i have been out of town for the past few days and could not comment on this issue. I don't have much time but i will ask one question of Jeff and all who seem to fancy me a poacher. Have you ever Miss counted anything in your life. Have you every made a mistake? and have you ever been investigated by the game department for helping a person pouch several different species of animals? Jeff has! He also admitted me me that he shot two of the turkeys in his shop with a 243. This crap has to stop. Jeff you are a child! The very first sentence in my post says that i in no way was trying to take business from you. All i did was tell my story. I said you were good at what you do. I feel i was cheated. You have done good work for people that i know. How dare you call me a poacher! How dare any of you say that about me! I was involved with shooting an extra duck i fessed up took the fine and paid it in full. People make mistakes. I have also volunteered for the game department turned in poachers and am in good standing with my local game officials. Can you say the same Jeff. Before you bash me remember what i was a privy to. You are not so honest! How dare you turn this into
such a childish war. If you reread my post you will see that i did a fine job of telling my story and being courteous to you. Wow, i really am taken back by your actions. This again proves what i said you are not a good person. I  see now that it was only a blessing that our friendship ended i am better off. Thank you for making that decision easy for me to make.

The real question here is what did i have to gain by telling that stoy? What does Jeff have to gain by making me look bad? I have no reason to lie! I

I'm sorry to those who defended me i didn't mean to sound ungrateful thank you for the suport. You are the reason i belong to this site i value your input and support.

P.s. I am disappointed at the level of immaturity displayed by many of you. I can't believe that you would say suck horrible things about a person you have never met. 

Actually Cory, i think very few site members actually said much negative about you.  Only a few new guys who were obviously siding with the accused.  Hopefully you understood that the parenthesis around my remark didn't mean to reflect upon you, but was used to make a point.  You also have a great 4th.

This again proves what i said you are not a good person. If somebody would have asked you 3 years ago if we were friends you would have had a different story to tell. I  see now that it was only a blessing that our friendship ended i am better off. Thank you for making that decision easy for me to make.

The real question here is what did i have to gain by telling that story of my experience with Jeff? What does Jeff have to gain by making me look bad? I have no reason to lie! It would seem that somebody is just playing a little game of CYOA. This in no way ever benefited me.

I'm sorry to those who defended me i didn't mean to sound ungrateful thank you for the support. You are the reason i belong to this site i value your input and support.

Sorry it took so long here are a few pictures of what i was given from Trails end. Now i challenge you to look at his work that was done for other people and compare. I will say again Jeff is capable of good work, but this is not it. I hope you all can see that i have again said JEFF CAN DO GOOD WORK it's not my fault he is an immature little girl about an honest critique of his sub par work. Sorry Jeff but the mounts you did for me are crap! Take this as you want, but don't you ever accuse me of something i didn't do you insecure, childish, pathetic, shallow man!!!

I don't understand why any taxidermist would put out anything but the best work he is capable of. Just like any professional, it's not smart to do any work for anybody that is not done right. If he wasn't willing to do the job right he should not have agreed to do it at all.

that deer looks like he was hit by a truck, maybe its a new style  the road kill look

Also thank you so much Jeff for name dropping as you did. I only used your name because you have a business card with it on it. I'm sure my war veteran friend appreciates you carelessly throwing his name into a public forum for something he has no idea about. So i guess we can add divulging your customers information to the list as well.

I agree and have a hard time understanding this as well.

[boneaddict]

I am not going to choose sides in this cat fight, is sounds like my 4 and 6 year old kids arguing.

But..that mount looks like a dead carp with antlers on it.
