So 1 year and 1/2 ago i shoot my biggest buck. He is a 5 year old 17 pointer that scores 174 net and gross 187! Any way I took it to my taxidermist and he said he would have it done in know time! well a year goes by and he still didnt get it done but i didnt want to make him mad so i said just let me know when its done!! well he called me the the other day and said i can come get ALL are deer from him because he is done being a taxidermist. i said are they done and he said no there not. well needles to say im not the happy-est person in the world. so any one know a taxidermist In NE Iowa? Thanks for your Help!
sounds like you got lucky that he didn't mount it for you. Sounds like a Richard. Hope your cape is still good and make sure you get your whole deposit back
That's sucks. I've been through that same rodeo! It was 2 years before I got my stuff back and everything was freezer burnt to boot!
Jeeze...that sucks....hope you find a good one and get your deer done. Probably work out for the better anyway and you'll get a nicer job. That's a hell'uva deer, do you have any pics, that's really similar to what the one I just got back scored in the OMG thread but the deductions kept him from making Boone by a hair. Sorry I don't know of any taxidermists up that way.
How far of a drive do you want. My mount was done by these guys. World class mounts, just be prepared to talk and talk with Marv They're in Burnsville, MN. Minnesota's Taxidermy Unlimited ? Burnsville, MN
Holy crap what a jacka$$ for doing that to you and probably a lot of others. Sure hope you can find someone to help you out.
Nice bucks. Sorry about your deal w. the Taxi. Happened to my father-in-law a few years back. He still doesn't have his mounted. I think his cape was ruined. Sorry I can't recommend a taxi in your area. Surely someone on here will have a good recommendation. Good luck.
It's not in NE IA but Richard Watts does good work. He is located in Oskaloosa. I just got my mount back from him and will continue to use him for all my trophies. His website is wattstaxidermy.com if you want to check him out. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
