Gladfelter's Taxidermy

Review: [redacted]'s Taxidermy has had my coyote hide since 12/2/2011 for a simple tanning. They also have my deer hide for tanning since 11/7/2012. Most taxidermists have the hide tanned and returned within 3 months. The coyote hide has been almost 3 years. Every time I call, I get an excuse. The last phone conversation, I demanded the immediate return of both hides no matter what step along the tanning process they were. Again, I got "stories". I had taken a deer skull from my child's first deer to be cleaned and sealed. I was promised the skull would be returned finished before Christmas so I could make a plaque for it and give it to him as a present. It was not until March until the skull was returned finished. The biggest gripe is that it definately does not take 3 years to tan a coyote hide. This has gone beyond understandable. Also, he required a down payment on the work when he accepted the job, that hasn't been performed for almost 3 years. So, he owes me 1) MY coyote hide 2) MY deer hide 3) return of MY deposit for the work he never did!!Desired Settlement: He owes me 1) MY coyote hide 2) MY deer hide 3) return of MY deposit for the work he never did!!So, he owes me money and product.
