Title: Options to recover hide
Post by: B-Mo on October 21, 2016, 03:43:26 PM: Does anyone on here have any experience with recovering a hide from a taxidermist when they won't contact you any more? What are my options? I am military and don't live in Washington any more. First bear and with a bow to boot and its been three years since drop off. Ideas? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Also there is a search option on this site that may be extremely informative depending on the name of the taxi... Just type in their company and have a good read.

Tell the taxidermist you have someone coming to pick your hide up and need a response back with a date and time to pick it up. I'm sure someone from this forum would be more than happy to help you out and get your trophy back to you. I would be more than happy to help you if it's relatively close to bremerton.

Facebook from what I hear. Short of legal action threat I don't know what else has worked in the past.

Post by: B-Mo on October 22, 2016, 07:06:39 PM: So if I am able to find someone to pick it up for me and I can somehow get a hold of the taxi and arrange the pick up what are some things to look for to ensure the hide isn't ruined in transit? Any ideas on how it should be shipped? it was supposedly back from the tannery two years ago.

Thanks for the support.

Post by: boneaddict on October 22, 2016, 07:09:10 PM: If it's back from the tannery, then just keep it dry. It would ship fine. That's a party line though. If it's in the bottom of the freezer, that's a different story

Post by: theleo on October 24, 2016, 03:43:28 PM: If it's a certain female taxidermist, enter her name in the search function, sit back with a strong drink, and be ready to read for a couple of hours.

No need to send info via PM's if it's her, you won't be telling the forum anything that hasn't been discussed before. Sorry you have to deal with this, best of luck!
