African and exotic work is determined by many factors that need to be discussed in person or on the phone
2 month turnaround on birds and 6 months or less on most everything else as an estimate with current conditions that will change. Lifesize will take longer . I really try to get my mounts back out the door ASAP I don't screw around and if I was a customer I wouldn't want to wait more than a year for a mount.
Do not bring me anything rotted or horribly smelling. I will turn it down. There are very few exceptions. I do not want to get sick and don't want the stress and headache that goes along with it
If you pay with a credit card there is a 4 percent upcharge due to the card machine charging me that .
Unlike most taxidermist I rely solely on my income from taxidermy to pay the bills. I charge to make a living to pay those bills,and not to make hunting money or beer money like the others do. I do not get company health insurance or paid time off among other benefits . keep that in mind when you shop for a taxidermist. You get to choose only 2 out of 3 options , Quality ,Turn around time and Price. Look around and see what you get from others . I offer the highest quality in the area and make it my mission to give you the best. Look at others work I guarantee you'll come back. Don't get FOMO the feeling of a good deal is long forgotten when you have to look at a bad mount for years to come . I do not offer discounts or deals . Your wouldn't want your boss asking you If you could take a pay cut this week since he gave you so many hours . Shop around and look at others work before making a decision. I do not undercut prices to get work like other taxidermist, my "competitors". I do not have a whole team to do my dirty work . You have me and only me work on your trophy . You know who is doing every step of the process and who you are talking to and is responsible for your mount .
If you plan to hunt out of state please contact me first so I can consult you on proper field care and what to do for what your plans are for your animal. The more I can be involved in the beginning the better your mount will turn out.
