Starrow, I dont think you are being unreasonable. I always tell my customers not to bug me, Id rather work then answer phone calls. But what you have here is quite a different situation then the usual "is it ready yet, Im so excited" type phone calls. Im sure in hindsight you know he wasnt the best choice for you, but by now he should realize that by just getting back to you, he couldve avoided alot of this. There are plenty of good taxidermists in NY, and if you would like me to give you some suggestions, feel free to contact me via email, pm or phone, 585-637-2450. Pardon me if I dont suggest myself, but Im pretty full, and theres lots of other guys too!
