I haven't posted much, but read several websites every day. I use these forums to learn as much as possible about the products I sell in my store and how they are received by the average guy. You can never learn too much. Look how much I learned about doing business with a guy in a shooting preserve parking lot! If it was just me, I would just chalk it up to stupidity and move on. The goat was my son's, and not only am I out money, but we are out of his first large animal bowkill. I'll fight to the death for my kid. He knows there are dishonest people out there, I want to show him that we do not have to just take it. As for NYS taxidermists, I know several outstanding people who have treated me very well. This was an instance where we were not returning right away to NY and made a quick deal on the run.
