I agree with you excalbur43… This guy has been waiting for it now for a year and a half and never hear anything until after he called him around 6 months ago. Now after he contacted him again and got stuff rolling he is seeing progress on it. He was told that he will be getting it soon..

I hope he gets his money's worth on his mount. Hopefully he'll get it back soon.

My friend has gotten his mount back but wasn’t very happy with the cost increase.

I received mine back yesterday but can’t post any pictures of it because I just can’t appear to do that. I also picked up a few little booklets of his shop with price lists of his work. The prices for this year remain the same which surprised me. Also how fast his turnover was on my buck mount.

I just figured out how to post the pictures.. He is not on the wall yet because I am trying to locate an official scorer for Maine Antler & Skull Trophy Club. I only need a score of 125 and the taxidermist gave it an unofficial score of 140.. So I am confident he made the club..

Thank you and I was talking with another guy that had the same issue from that other taxidermist. I gave him a pamphlet from the one I went to.. It’s pretty sad how some are..

Nice looking buck.
What is the name of your taxidermist, also the not so good taxidermist.

The one that I went to was DeLaite’s Taxidermy.. The one that I would personally shy away from is the Crown of Maine taxidermist.. That’s me and from the stories and issues that has been going on.
