Just because a person is a good taxidermist doesn't automatically make them good at business. Most small businesses fail and often it is not because they have a bad product or service to offer it is because they don't have a clue about running a business. I suspect that most of the taxidermist that people have problems with probably do fine work but should also probably be working for someone else with a solid business plan instead of being self employed.  :twocents:
:yeah:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Poor communication sucks! I've only had good experiences with taxidermists.   

I've had two bt bucks shoulder mounted by the same taxi. The first one I was told 12-14 month turn around and I received it back in 9.5 months. Second one I dropped it at his shop in January and told him it was for my mother and I'd like to get it back by mother's day.  He expressed some doubt but said he'd give it a try. Two weeks before mother's day it was ready! (I purchased a Cape from him so that definitely helped turn it around quickly)

I am sorry for your lousy experience but wanted to show that there are good taxis out there and its possible to get something mounted in a reasonable amount of time. Good luck!

I’m still waiting on several animals I’ve paid in full for through a couple local taxidermist.

Bear & mt lion from 2016
Bear,bull, antelope and mule deer 2017
Whitetail, mule deer 2018
Bull 2019

I’m convinced that they do this game on purpose.

I would never pay in full, gotta have something left for them to want.😉
