" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Sorry about your experience Greg.  I've been using Buzzi Cook of Olympic Taxidermy just outside of North Bend near Edgewick.  He hasn't been cheap but his stuff is top notch. I've never heard of this Straight Arrow Taxidermy before, I'll have to ask some of my buddies around town.

All of those pictures are rediculous but the one that REALLY caught my attention was of the back of the mount. That picture looks like road kill. I take as much pride in the back of a mount as I do the front. Just because no  :(one will see it doesn't mean that it's not there.

I think if my taxi screwed the ears to the horns I would screw his ears to his head!!! I can't get that pic of the nose out of my head!! :yike: It looks like a close up of a milk cow!!

I feel your pain. My first archery buck mount is horrible @ best. The ears are all crinkled, the neck fur is bunched up and sticks out etc.....) I keep looking @ it thinking to have it redone or just make it into antlers only. My taxi was highly recommended and I saw his work (which was beautifully) before I gave him my buck.

Huntergreg, did those checks clear the bank?

I just saw how well your mount turned out in the other thread...good save!

FYI, I bumped the thread you started last year about this taxidermist...
