Wildlife Obsession Duvall WA Taxidermy Closing its doors
Irish_hunter93:
Same.... I work with a guy who knows the owner personally, says he will be finishing all work, says he has never left a project unfinished..... I sure hope that is the case. he has a bobcat of mine, been 2 years waiting to get it back with his shop (wildlife obsessions) after I took it back from a different local taxidermist in snohomish county that had it for 3 years and never touched it.
Guess we'll see....
But I haven't had any success in reaching the owner via phone call or text at all personally.
The person who knows the owner is adamant that all work will be finished or things wil be made right.

PM sent. Sorry to hear this. I had a similar issue with them a couple years ago and posted on here, and a well known Hunt WA member on here reached out for me.
I think the risk of public shaming was highly motivating, so hopefully the fact you posted will get things moving.

I understand that shutting down a business you built from the ground up is never an easy decision. I truly have compassion for the difficult circumstances that may have led to this point. However, completely cutting off communication with clients who trusted the business, paid deposits, and are simply hoping for their animals or a completed product is not acceptable.
I don’t want to make this any harder on the shop or anyone involved, but the way things are being handled right now isn’t helping the situation. The animals I entrusted to the business are not easily replaced — the cost of the hunts alone would exceed $40,000. Brown Bears, in particular, are highly regulated by the State of Alaska and the Game Department, which makes the loss even more significant.
The last thing I want is to escalate this, but if communication continues to be nonexistent, my only remaining option would be to involve an attorney to pursue restitution for the hunts, and potentially notify the game department regarding the disappearance of trophy animals. When a business shuts down and vanishes with a customer’s property, it can lead to civil legal action and, in some cases, criminal investigations for theft.
I honestly hate even having to bring these things up, but at this point the situation doesn’t look promising, and I am growing increasingly concerned.

They have my Mt. Lion and moose. It has been 2 years. Last communication in April that I initiated said they would be done 6 months ago in May. Hoping for the best for all involved.

So what happened when you went to the shop?
