Yep it's not worth much, sentimental value should count for a little, but probably doesn't. He also got pre paid $300 worth of firewood, a cape and my 10yr olds nice Bass. Thanks for the offer Red Green but i don't want someone else's rack on my wall, it's the deer I shot and payed for to be mounted, that i want on my wall. Yes MZS I have written proof on his guilt. He claims he had a sign that said it's the customers responsibility to have insurance lol. I told him BS. So... rack=$165, cape=$20, firewood=$300, Bass=$20?

As my dear old departed Dad used to say: "What goes around comes around!" The guy will be judged one day and if he is what you say I wouldn't want to be him!

I am still looking for this punk, Joe Nieman, he moved to Ontario, from Wisconsin. Anyone know anything about him? I would appreciate any info? Send a PM.

It would cost you more to sue him than the rack and fish is worth and then there is no assurance that you would collect. Winning a law suit is no guarente you will get paid, then you have to put a lien on something he owns. It is your time and money so it depends on how much you are willing to spend on principle and then take a chance on being out the rack, fish and the money you spent to sue.

Have you tried to find out where/how he sold everything? Locally? On line? etc?

I'd forget about him for now and pursue the deer.

I had a problem with a taxidermist a few years ago.

I dropped 2 deer off and to my surprise he told me to just pay when I picked them up.

A year later he called yelling at me because I had not paid him yet. I got all worked up and jumped in my truck and headed his way at that point I just wanted my deer to take somewhere else (I was afraid if I paid him I still wouldn't get my deer back). I got there and he wouldn't let me in. I ask to see our paper work and he got it but kept waiving it around and wouldn't let me actually read it. Then he told me if I tried to take the paper work he would "whip my a**" as he stood inside with the door cracked. I then started to go in after him but luckily caught myself and backed off.

He called the cops and when they arrived they told me all I could do was file a civil suit.

The problem is one of the deer was a 200+ inch typical and what happened is he had people wanting to buy it so he did not want me to get it back he wanted to sell it and I didn't want to win money in court I wanted my deer back.

I hated it but I ended up working it out as a "misunderstanding" and got my deer back without going to court. I thought it was odd when I dropped it off and he didn't want money down. I'm pretty sure his plan was to sell that deer from the start.

I hear you Oldtimer I just want to talk to him and go from there, but i can't find a number. Every lead dried up Rockport. i was doing an internet search on him last night and this old thread came up. Oh well i'm not going to stop it's a matter of principal.

rockport

Yeah, I believe I would go the "keep your enemies close" route.

This guy Joe does live in Canada. To be specific it's Longlac. He's done the same to people here. This is a true fact as I also live in Longlac! He's upset more than a fair share of our little town. Not much love for him

Jilly

Message me ! I don't know how to send a message..I can tell you all about him...he lives in the same town as me ! I can tell you so much it's not funny

My hunting partner also had problems with a taxidermist. Moral of his story was if the deal is to good to be true than it isn't true.


Ask for references from others who has had work done, not just 5 or 6 either.
