Jodyslilbro Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 that my brother shot an 8-point, went to get it mounted, and hasn't gotten it back yet. It will be 5 years this hunting season. We always make jokes about it how its going to be done in 2 weeks because that's what the taxidermist said. Don't you think that's ridiculus?

RTF Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I think your deer is gone. You guys better get on the ball and start legal proceedings. Demand to see how far along he is with the deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 5 years!!!! Have you contacted the person that has it and asked him/her what the heck is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodyslilbro Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'm not sure if he's talked to him but like I said it's my brothers deer. My brother said he doesn't do it for a living but that makes more sense to be done quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tyridgerunner Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 i have a friend that does it for a living. he to does the same thing. but most of the time the ones he says it to are the ones that never gave him any money. not saying that is in your case. i would most defendly talk to him again amd make him find a way to get it done or tell to give back money and at least horns. another taxidermist can get ya another hide. good luck..

dfol20 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 sounds the whole "Incomplete Deer Hunter" senario. I would be mad though if it was my deer. What he needs to do is shoot the new world record, show the taxidermist, and tell he aint never touching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I have all my deer done by a taxidermist in MI that only does so many deer a year. I have mine back in about 3 to 4 months every year. I did have one done by a guy that does it full time in Southern Missouri and it took me 1 year to get it done, but it needed a little more work and he told me how long it would be to begin with. I would go and tell him to give up the antlers and the cape if he still has it. I think if he gets it back he won't be happy with it anyway. Sounds like another wanna-be taxidermist.

quackmaster4 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I agree with the others; it's gone. Happened to me with a drake woodduck. Apparently he got it done, and a mouse got into it and just tore it up. He didn't tell me for awhile, then admitted he had been trying to get me another one OUT OF SEASON!! I said no thanks, never went back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I ask for it back and when he can't produce it....then sue him in civil court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I ask for it back and when he can't produce it....then sue him in civil court. Ditto! If it ain't done after five years it ain't gettin done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
