[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5403834, member: 2474"] Been burned twice by out of state taxidermist. Once in AK with a black bear my grandson killed. POW Island and there were only two on island to use. We went with a lady that was recommended and left hide & skull with her to flesh & tan. Ted Nugent & his brother were on her list ahead of us so figured it was okay. 18 months & no contact... Guy I knew there tried to get her to call me to no avail. 6-8 months letter I get a call from AK Game & Fish asking what we had left with her. They were investigating her on something & found my name on list. After I explained what happened, they found hide & skull still in freezer. Couple days later I received it from them as they had overnighted to me. Grandson was just 11 when he killed the big boar that scored 22 5/16", so it was extra special to us. Bear aged out at 11 yrs too! Other time was a chocolate bear I shot in UT with bow. Left it with a "friend" of the outfitter who also was a cop in SLC. He told me if I paid in full that he'd get it done quickly & ship to AL for free. Stupid me bit & paid him cash. That's been over 10 years ago. Tried to find him one time when I was out there but never did. [/QUOTE]
