I would never recommend bringing any work to this business. He had my deer for over 2 years and i was at the point of just hoping I would get it back. Between year 1 and 2 I called every couple months to check up. I would generally have to call 7-8 times each before I ever made contact. He would never return a call, his shop was rarely ever open. When I finally did talk to him, he had every excuse you could think of for the delay. When I FINALLY went to pick up my deer I was so happy to get my hands on it and leave that the time to actually look at it wasn't until after getting it home. I think build a bear in the mall could have done a better job. The colors were so overdone it doesn't look realistic, the shape of the head is obvious the foarm wasn't worked at all prior to the hyde going back on. Where the antlers come off the top it looks like they set on top and the hyde stretched over so there's a big hump. SAVE yourself and don't take anything you have to this place.
I hope any of you out there thay are looking to have your catch preserved, think twice or 3 times before using this guy. I brought my buck for shoulder mount 3 years ago and have not got it back yet, i have left several messages and no call backs and finally talked to him yesterday and claimed every exuse in the book why its not done. Same excuses i heard last year at this time and last year it was that im 6th in line and will be done by season end. In the mean time friends, relatives and wife are all getting their mounts back in 9-12 months. But he has my deposit money though !!! Next step i believe is small claims as i have the recorded voicmails i left and his replies and reciept, hmm wonder whats next, so much for helping the hometiwn guy
For us my son and I. We brought 2 heads in November 2019 and now one of them are finally ready for pickup. We were told Covid slowed it down, well maybe a bit it did but for it to take a year and a half? He would give us a time like a while back he said 2 weeks, well after 5 weeks I called and they were not done yet. He kept telling us something and it was never true. At least he should have called and said hey I'm behind because of covid, did he NO! So we never got a straight story, just a run around with him. So if you don't mind a little wait go right ahead and give him a try! Me no more!
He has 2 of my kids 1st bucks for 2yrs. Will not answer the phone. At this point I am hoping to at least get the racks back!! I can't replace their 1st buck racks
I have still not gotten my turkey back and it has been 3 years. He keeps saying that it is not done yet. He is never at his business. Worse experience i have ever had.
Great dude and service. Did my boys turkey and now full cape.
Worst experience ever paid the man up front 100$ like he wanted and a year later still haven’t seen my fish or money back and he never knows how to answer a phone
