I think that it’s crap they were saying but if he wants it back I guess he will have to meet their demand. Myself I would be getting the state to look into it for him..
Yes, I agree. I give my clients a copy of everything we discussed, pose, ear positioning, plaque, etc. included with the receipt, also the condition of the cape when I receive it. If there is a problem discovered after I thaw out the hide, then I call them and discuss what can be done and the cost, before I proceed. Sometimes you thaw out a cape and one shoulder has the hair rubbed off from dragging the deer. I will not mount that cape.
