RE: How would you handle this?
I too would have a face to face talk with him. If you paid for some of the mounts, he should complete the work or give them back with your money. The ones you didn't pay for yet I would suggest to just get them back. This way he won't have such a work load (from you) and you stand a better chance of getting the ones you did pay for completed.
I'd be more than happy to assist you in getting your money and mounts back.

Thanks for all of your responses. I am going to talk to him ONE more time and see what happens. Also thanks to BigJ12 and Rob for their offers, I think I'll hold off on that for a while. As Motownhonkey said, when I try stuff like that, black bar hotel here I come!

Man just go ask him for all your stuff and money or give him a deadline to start giving your money and mounts back either or maybe 3 mounts and part or the money that he couldn't work on.
just my 5c.

I don't care who they are or what their problems are. If you pay in advance you're usually going to get screwed. And when someone already has a couple of my deer and hasn't gotten them back to me..... I sure wouldn't take him any more. That said, I'd go have a big conversation face to face with an expected date of completion that's satisfactory or we're going to small claims court. I'd also like to see my horns at that time to make sure he's still got them. Big horns bring big bucks with decorators these days. He could have sold them. When you mix business with charity orpity or help, it usually ends up a gift.

I'd make a visit to his house and have a heart 2 heart w/ him and see if you can work this out....Whether that means him getting his ass in gear and finishing his obligations to you and your friend or getting your money and heads back....Good Luck Greg!!! Not a easy situation anyway you look at it....Friendship aside buisness is buisness and you go messin w/a hardcore deer hunters horns and your in trouble....
