To date it has been 2 years 2 months. A bit past her 18month estimation. Since November of 2015 I have called 7 times. All 7 calls I left a message. Today my message basically said "you have till Friday to call me back and tell me what's up with my $$ and my bear or I'm going to camp out in your driveway until we can talk face to face."
Am I wrong here? Anybody have a better way of contacting her? Anyone had contact with her recently?
Thanks

Normal yearly routine from her!
I unfortunately didn't know about hunt-wa till after my bear or I might have taken heed to the misfortune of others.
Is she off hunting or on a yearly vacation? Maybe she's on the biggest loser? There has to be a good reason not to return a paying customers calls. Other than just being a *censored* business person. This isn't a matter of how long it takes to do my rug. If she would answer a call and say I'm not done, but I'm working on it id be fine. JUST ANSWER THE CALL!!

The last time this happened, she showed that she did not understand the First Law of Holes: when you've dug yourself into trouble, stop digging. She sent me about six PM's detailing the reasons why she was having trouble with a customer. I would guess she did the same to other disinterested third parties. When she starts explaining away the problems, watch out.
Many companies, large and small have no concept of managing problems on social media.

At one point I received a cloth bag with her logo on it in the mail. She said she had something for me, so I gave her my address. I don't know her, and have never done business with her. I used it for a game bag a few times...worked great. I don't know what all this means, but I figure it might be another piece to a puzzle that none of us will ever be able to put together. Please tell me everyone else got a bag too :dunno:
Maybe she thought you wore out your old sack, and need a new one.

Please tell me everyone else got a bag too :dunno:I can clear this up.
At one time I was going to create a logo for another taxi and silk screen them onto game bags. Just and arts and craft project..nothing big. I accidentally mentioned it to Michelle who told where I could get raw materials. Next thing I know she is at my house showing me samples of bags she has sewn. A day or so later she sends me a message with a couple of logos to preview. I was not real happy about her jumping on my idea, but I thought I would be doing the screening and she would make the bags. Boy was I wrong. I was previewing logos for someone else to screen or transfer. I don't remember which way she went. My idea, but I did not even get a bag. LOL
The real bummer was that when this bag thing was going on, there were new threads popping up here about people not being able to contact her for their mounts.
Post by: billythekidrock on January 05, 2016, 10:00:45 PM
I really thought it was some promotional thing she was doing with huntwa members. Or maybe she confused me with one of her actual clients. Nice gesture, whatever the gesture was.
Some were given to clients and one plan was to put bear rugs in them.

This has been the most enlightening experience of my entire huntwa existence. I lost a lot of sleep over this. At one point I sat the bag down on a chair and just stared at it hoping the answer would come to me. Sorry about the intellectual property theft. I'm not gonna lie, it was a great idea. I'd sell you mine, but Michelle Nelson stock is down at the moment. I'd have to take a loss.
No thanks. I don't need your bloody sack. LOL

So...it's kinda like looking at a bad car crash...you gotta do it and you feel bad for looking. But should we feel bad when the driver survives and gets back in their vehicle, backs up and drives straight into the same telephone pole, again...and again......and again...
When determining whether or not you should feel bad, you should also consider whether or not the person gave you a free bag.
That's my dilemma.

Really? You think 5 years is acceptable? I have never heard of the five year plan :dunno: Most Taxi's will give you a 18-24 month schedule and there are many that get your stuff back in 12 -16 months! And so lets use your logic that 5 years is acceptable and the norm then why does she tell people that it will be ready in 18? why doesn't she just say 5 years and deliver it in 2 1/2? My guess is she knows that if she tells people the reality that she cant deliver it in under 2 years people will take their business elsewhere cause 18 is more of the norm than 5yrs ;)

No way on the bag. It's value is increasing with every post. I feel the exact same way about this, though.

Yeah, I know. I actually referred a couple folks to her and stood up for her for awhile. I felt really bad and embarrassed about that. That was years ago, and those clients probably still haven't got their stuff back. Too many incidences and excuses since then. Some quality folks really tried to help her get her stuff together to no avail.

Michelle,
If you're out there, Why did I get a free bag? I suspect it's because my presence on here is one of shear awesomeness. However, if it was by accident, I want to do the right thing and return the bag to its rightful owner. I have a hunch it was meant for h20hunter.

Guess what................................The grass is overwhelming and they can't afford a brush hog. Soooooo then they trade one brush hog mowing for free taxidermy work and another head is in the line.
Then the grass grows again.
Bottom line is there is no excuse for letting the grass grow up around you.

I don't have the time to go into this right now, but I to am a "victim" of MNT. I have PM'd the originator of this thread and dropped a couple of suggestion about a plan to move this towards resolution. I'm sure over the next couple days I can get my story out there. But for starters, I see MNT still has a couple "posts" locked into the threads about capping and care of them for mounts. Lets start by getting a respected taxidermist to provide this information and get MNT's off the site, it's almost like "free advertising". Just my :twocents: at the present time. :bash: :bash: :bash:
Very point, thank you for the suggestion. We will look into it immediately

I did it at a time when things were still on the up and up. I ended up sending her a Alaskan Mt Goat for a rug and a Alaskan Brown Bear 6 months apart. I can tell you that the quality is NOT an issue. The stress of not knowing what would be the end result of these lifetime animals is real. I encourage any of you with work there to be both patient and persistent. It's a shame that what I'd call simple obstacles are preventing her from being top notch. :twocents:

How big was this bag? I never knew what happened to the brown bears scrotum....
If this thread gets nuked, I just want to make it clear that scrotum bags were not my idea.
My bag was wrinkle free when I received it, so I'm guessing it's not a brown bear scrotum. It was suspiciously soft, though.
P.S. If Plat finds this thread, we're all doomed.

Here is an honest guess and assesment. As a small business owner I often find myself pulled in many different directions some times failing at everything I do and sometimes making everyone happy. Unfortunatly you wear lots of different hats and some of those jobs you hate and procrastinate on. The honest advice I would give anyone in her position is to hire some one or a service to do what you hate to free you up to do what your good at and love doing. Its not always easy. I tried hiring some help for the same reasons this last year. It worked well, I was happier and got more done but the guys I hired didnt work out... really too bad because one of them was pretty cool. It seems like it might cost too much, or that who you hire doesnt have the right skills but it can really help.
It appears that the work she does is stellar but she needs drastic help getting her back on track. I had a professor at CWU that was a BBB small business consultant and every story he told was a lesson on how the little thing can make or break a small business.

And Michelle snubbed most of the suggestions in the past as if it were someone else's problem and not hers. She is very selective in what she wants to respond to. I am by no means perfect, but this lady needs someone standing by her in the taxidermy shop to keep her accountable to tasks/timelines and second role to work with the public. It is clear Michelle lacks these two pivotal traits in the business operations.

Simple fact is that a great mechanic,plumber taxidermist or (fill in the blank) that is really tallented often fail in business. Recognising your strenghts and weaknesses is a super importand part of being sucessful overall. One of my customer doesnt do any of his bookwork because he hates it. Uses a gal on the olypen that does if for him. Its all she does because shes good at it. Playing to your strengths and improving or minimizing your weaknesses is the key to sucess. Im not perfect but I think its important to to share a solution.

As someone who is in customer service I can vouch for a lot of what you're saying. The last thing anyone wants to do is tell a paying customer something they don't want to hear. Some people are good at it and some aren't. Procrastinating and putting off the inevitable only makes it worse. I've been there and done that. Pretty safe to assume that Michelle is not answering the phone or calling these folks back because she doesn't want to have to hear it from pissed off customers.

I 'll have to admit I have 2 of those bags! All I have is a euro done on a mule deer that she sent out for me. But the bags are nice! I will also have to say that I must be in the minority. Because my transaction with here went pretty smooth and my calls were either answered or returned very promptly. I have no problem complaining when complaining is due. But I also need to give kudos when kudos are due!

I think it's probably a little too big for you. This bag was meant for big west side bulls.

I'm a little disappointed. This Is day two and it's only eight pages. :dunno:That's because we haven't heard all of the excuses yet so we can really get this topic going. Maybe it's taking extra time to think of some new ones? :dunno:

To the OP, I would plan on another year or two before it's done.

That is a dandy bobcat. Maybe Michelle could do a mount of it?

That's by brown bear hunting thread. You can see the date I shot it and the date of the rug pic. I had harvested a goat the fall before, that was also sent to her. I received both rugs at the same time.
