Has anyone been in contact with Wildlife Obsession recently? A couple of buddies told me they may be closing their doors—or have already closed—but I haven’t been able to reach anyone to confirm what’s going on. I dropped off a brown bear, caribou, and fox nearly two years ago and have only had one update since then.

When I spoke with them early this summer, they said my mounts would be finished soon, but I’ve heard nothing since. Their voicemail says they’re shutting down in summer 2026 and will either return or finish existing projects upon customer request, and that communication should be by text only. A bit odd, but maybe the phone never stops ringing.

Either way, I’ve called multiple times and sent several text messages without any response. I’m getting pretty concerned given the amount of money I have tied up in these animals.

Does anyone have any additional information or recommendations on how to proceed?

What a nightmare, I'm sorry to hear that.  Praying for the best possible outcome.

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.
