        Having problems with A Taxi in Crosby

        They just sent me a pic so I'm feeling much better about it.




        They seem like really nice folks when you get them on the phone. I just have heard horror stories about Taxi's and no communication then they disappear.

            Glad that they still have your horns.
            Maybe it is just me but I would still go get my horns. I would not trust a new taxidermist with my mounts without seeing examples of his past work.

                I remember reading on TBH about holding on to your actual horns until the taxi is ready to put them on. That way, you know exactly where they are until the final stage before pickup

                I don't know if this is actually an option because I've never tried it, just something I've seen said here.

                If/when I get a deer like that, you better believe I will exercise this option

                  You need to go set up a hammock on their door step and hang out until you get your horns and cape.

                    I am close and could help if needed. Maybe things will workout.

                      If I was in your shoes, I would be on the road to get those antlers. NOW.



                      Nice rack by the way.

                        Nice to see they have them but I would go ahead and pick them up and let somebody else do the mount. No telling what could come up next.

                          It's absolutely an option. I do it every year with with both my whitetails and muleys. I peel the cape all the way off, and keep the skull intact. I freeze the cape and when I'm headed north to visit family I drop it off at my taxi. I skull mount the head, fondle and coon finger the antlers for about 10 months, then take them by my taxi when he is ready for them. People ask me why I didn't shoulder mount a particular deer, and I explain to them that it is being shoulder mounted but I keep my skullmounted antlers until the taxi is ready. (usually about 3 weeks before the mount is scheduled to be finished)



                          Both of these are patiently waiting.....

                            This^^^^ then give him an alligator hunt and let borrow your special 45.

                            Where is Crosby? I may be up for a road trip since Chew didn't pick me for the drive-by.

                                PM me the name and I can tell you if it's the Taxi in Crosby I used to use, if it is he don't get in a hurry and unless you got his cell # he is hard to get a hold of but he does do great work.
