Got My Bear back - 03/19/17 06:22 PM
I shot this bear back in 2015 my local taxidermy was giving me the run around about it so I ended up going and getting my hide back. This summer rolls around and I have someone contact me about a deer hunt says they are on a limited budget but had heard good things and would like to try to work out a hunt. After a few conversations with Kaleb and finding out he was a Taxidermy we worked out a trade. Probably the best one I have made in a long time. Kaleb and his two brothers and two nephews came down to hunt. We had a great time became friends very quickly it turned from a customers to family over night. I cant say enough good things about them. Anyway back to the Bear. Kaleb took the bear hide and 3 deer with him back to his shop when he left. I'm going to be honest I was a little nervous about sending the bear back without ever seeing one of his mounts in person. For me it was a once in a life time bear he weigh 620 pounds when I shot him for this part of the country they don't get much bigger. Anyway he sends me a text a couple weeks ago saying mounts are ready. I'm like really it only been 4 months he's say to make plans to come and get them when I'm ready. So Monday I make a run to his shop it roughly 7 hours for me. When I wasnt fighting traffic I was thinking about how's the bear goanna look. Deer can be remounted with another cape that's not a option with a bear. All of the concern was for nothing. He done such a awesome job I left there feeling a little guilty like I hadn't put forth enough on my end of the trade. They just don't get any better then this family. Kaleb has the same mentality that I try to practice every day under promise and over deliver. The bear is not where I want him yet but that was the only spot big enough on short notice the Kitchen table had to go. If your ever looking a good taxidermy at least give him a call. I just can not say enough good things about the mounts he even made a custom base for the bear none of the base was purchased other then the materials he formed and made the rook right there in his shop.
