God's creation taxidermy

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Mark? Tried calling/ texting. Just emailed him today.

Also try thru his facebook page .....

Scam artist stay away. Won’t return calls email or texts and he has had my money and animal for over two years. Beware

We have had zero problems with him and the work he does is outstanding.

22 months, and its gonna be ready in 2 weeks, every single time........

Taxidermists...

Same here!

X3

Shame... the work he posted on here looked great.. Looks like his facebook page is gone

I make a visit. I have an antelope with him now, it's been about a year, but I'm not in a hurry for it. His shop is about 5 minute drive from my house. Will be this weekend some time. Look for report back.

I bet he tells you they will all be ready in 2 weeks

I got a hold of mark on Thursday. After calling for 2 weeks on my phone with no answer I used someone else’s phone and he picked up on the first ring. I told him I would be at his place on June 7th to pick up my aoudad ready or not. He said it will be ready but we will see...

Good luck....

Man, I hate situations that get to this point. Very sorry you're having to go through it. Losers like that leave a bitter taste for a very long time.

Unfortunately this happens. Good taxidermist does not mean good business person. I gives all taxidermists a bad rap. Worse yet, they move and open up again under a new name. Sad!!!!!

Sorry, I did nor get by his shop. I received a PM that said he moved from 377 to South of Weatherford on FM 51.

Gentlemen, I apologize to anyone that I haven’t gotten back to. I am not running away with anyone’s mounts. I had some serious health issues this past winter and was down for quite a while. In the middle of all that I was having a new building put up for the business. I am in our new building now. My new address is10203 Granbury Hwy, Weatherford Texas 76087 . There have been a number of underlying situations with help leaving and such that has put me behind along with being sick and moving the business. I have hired some good taxidermists that are now helping me to get caught back up. For those of you that think I am scamming you then I invite you to come a see where I am. I am definitely not scamming anyone. As far as my website, when my renewal came due last February I was dealing with my illness and forgot to renew, I was 3 days late in renewal and found out that someone had purchased my domain. I do not know who purchased it and why they would do that. So I am having another site built. I am behind with my work. I apologize to anyone if I offended you. Please call me at 817-757-9192. I will answer .

I understand having health problems or help problems.....my roof contracts have similar issues outlined at the bottom of them. What I don't understand is why you have not called us to let us know what's going on. I've sent you several emails and always received the.....your mount is up next response. Your work is excellent,but your customer service is horrible. We, that have trusted you with our animals, are trying to give you the benefit of the doubt....but our patience is running thin. A simple phone call or email would have helped with any worries. You've had my bobcat since March 15th 2017. Please let me know when I can pick him up.

So has anyone gotten their animal completed from him lately?

I received my aoudad 2 weeks ago

Good to hear! Maybe my cat will be ready by the end of the year, it’s been 18 months. Was told it would be a year tops when I dropped it off

Any updates ? I'm still waiting

Mark called me today........ it has been over a year since we last spoke......he said my deer would be ready next week.

He apologized that he’s had it almost 3 years......I hope to post it here soon.......

I hope the mount is worth the wait. He does great work.

After almost 3 years I was told by Mark my cat would be ready the weekend of July 13. Welp I haven’t heard from him yet so.......... I texted him yesterday and no response. It’s comical at this point.

Man..

I picked up my mount from Mark yesterday. Sh!t happens to everyone in life eventually.......it's how you go forward from there.......he reached out to me after his post a few weeks later and told me he would finish the job and it would be ready to 2 weeks. He delivered on his promise and I couldn't be happier with the work he did.

Great looking deer Pitchfork, how long did he have it?

He had it a little over 2.5 years. He is working full time again and has some good help as well so for those of you that are still waiting.......he will deliver. The one thing I would not accept after all this time was poor quality or disappointment in the work. This is by far the best mount I now own as far as quality of work goes.

Beautiful, beautiful buck Marc. Glad it was finally finished.

He will have had my bobcat 2 1/2 years on Sept 15th.....still waiting and it better be awesome when I finally get it back

My bobcat was supposed to be ready again this weekend and I haven’t heard a thing.

I received a response on August 7 and he said it would be ready this weekend.

Post a pic when you get it, he still has mine... They better be stellar!

There's no question about the quality of his work but are you guys planning on using him again? I was in a similar situation a few years ago with the biggest deer I had killed to date and it drove me nuts

I hope I get a chance to ponder that this season, lol.........

Some of y’all are way more tolerant than me.

There are many taxidermists who do great work in a timely manner with good communication. I would not put up with the on here but once - and not even once if I had read this thread before I had submitted any animals to a guy with these issues.

Got my bobcat back last weekend, same response as pitchfork, is obviously would have liked to get it back sooner but it is absolutely perfect.. happy hunting

Don’t be shy westex, post up some pics

This

He's had my cat since May 2017. Still no response and voice mail is full.

I have no freaking idea why photobucket logo is over the face, of course what everyone wants to see... Cheers

Yours looks great....hope mine looks as good, when I finally get him!

Great looking cat!

Here’s a picture of mine it’s been almost 3 years

Worth the wait, I would say.

Welp I’m still waiting

Has anybody else got their mounts back yet? I guess I’m on his ignore list.

This sucks... sounds like your going to have to drive up there

Not yet, mine is only coming up on 2 years though...

I had a family member that was going to be in the area of his new shop and stopped by for me. Mark has had my cat since March 15th 2017 and the log book that my paperwork was in had been finished long ago. My page was stuck to another page and was skipped. Mark apologized to my family member and said he would get the hide out immediately and have it done in 2 weeks. That was early October. He hasn't called me either

Everyone still waiting on getting their bobcats back?

I am, but it’s just now at the 2 year mark. I was quoted 1 year when I dropped it off but I know there are lots of others that have been waiting longer so I have just kept quiet about it. (haven’t called him). That may change in the next month or two, may pick it up and take it to Huftax

I think some one already said it but he opened up a new shop closer to Weatherford and he also had health issues at the same time.

I stopped by the shop the other day and they where cranking out stuff. He has 2 guys working there to help
Move stuff along. I agree that he may not be the best at updating every one but I have never had an issue contacting him. Text/Facebook or going to his shop in person.

He has done good work for me and my buddies in the past! He also said he has about 90 bobcats to do right now.
They just finished a large amount of axis shoulder mounts also! And some ones bobcat is close to finished because I saw it in the shop and it looks good!

I hope my bobcat is about finished. He called me on Dec 9th to clarify how I wanted him mounted. Said he was about to get started on it. My cat was dropped off March 15th 2017. The log book that my paperwork was in, had already been completed long ago. My page was stuck to another and got skipped. Or at least that's the story I got......

Idk what form you got but I took a pic of some of his work that was almost done while I was there.

This is the bobcat I saw

Looks like that one is going to turn out good!

Messaged Mark on 1/30/20 with no response yet. I was told my shoulder mount was on the list to be completed when he got back in town from Christmas. I’m trying to be patient and understanding......but it’s getting difficult.

Life's too short to put up with this kind of lameness.

Based on these posts, why in the world would anyone leave their animals with him? Three years? Really? He can't be that damn good. Ninety bobcats in line ahead of you? No thanks.

Just tried calling the number listed by him on this thread and as expected- no answer, generic voicemail and inbox is full. Wish I lived closer, I would pick up my cat and take it to Huftax.

Does anyone know if he actually has this new building and is turning out animals? Wouldn’t be surprised if he has split and run. No phone number listed on his google business webpage

Wonder if handing him an extra c note would speed things up a bit.

Handed him 3 C notes when dropped it off.

Still no cat

Finally got my cat back from Mark and it’s well beyond my expectations. Mark made things right and I have a great mount I can be proud of.

So where’s the pic!!??

I'd gladly post pics but I'm not sure how.

Franklin517's pics. Looks great, but took 39 months to get it!

It might take me that long to get my suppressor! He got it back pretty quick if you ask me!

Great looking cat! Thanks for posting

Cat looks great.

Cat looks impressive. Cant wait to get mine back. I spoke with mark, he said mine will be ready in March.

That thing is awesome! Definitely a mount to be proud of!

If anyone could pm me the address of his new office I’d appreciate it. I’m still not having any of my messages returned. I suppose I’ll have to go by or have a certified letter sent. Thank you.

10203 Granbury Hwy, Weatherford Texas 76087

Received. Thank you.

I found these on a Taxidermy page that gods creation Taxidermy posts on. Some more bobcats he has finished in 2020. I hope every one is getting there stuff back and he is lowering the wait times.

It all looks like excellent work though.

What’s the Facebook page?

Picked my shoulder mount up yesterday. I’m happy with it. Mark and I had a cordial conversation. Better communication and sticking closer to timelines stated would have made things better for me. [censored] happens I get it. It’s important to communicate with people spending money with you when you think things will take much longer than stated. Again, the work done was good.

A little better shot of it.

Great looking buck....

Glad it finally worked out for you...

that is a really really good looking buck. What did he score?

To be honest I didn’t score him. Shot him on a low fence ranch between Brownwood and Brady.
Thanks.

Got my cat back from Mark nice clean work as always. I was extremely anxious to get this cat I’ve been fortunate to kill allot of nice animals in my hunting career. This one has meant the most to me.

Great looking cat...glad peoples animals are getting done....

Looks great!

Nice! How long did he have your cat?

Finally got my cat back.

That’s a great looking cat....

Looks good!

Still no damn cat from Mark.

I had an axis shoulder pedestal mount done this year by Mr Harper in mesquite. I'll post some pics of that when I pick it up today.

Guess I’m in the same boat with a bunch of y’all. I took my Red Stag to him 2 years ago next month, Gave him a $600 deposit and was told it would be ready in a year. Then the excuses started coming . Last time I actually talked to him it was supposed to be ready in July. Now He does not respond to text or answer phone calls . I was living in Granbury and took it to him because he was close. I have now relocated to Lampasas so it’s a little tougher to just swing by. But it’s gonna happen!

Almost 3 years here. He has been in communication with me regarding the mount over the last couple weeks and getting the details straight. Will see how it turns out. He seems to be turning work out, just really behind.
