Clay Wagner taxidermist?

[trophy8]

Anybody get theirs back?

Here's a cat he did for me. Not bad for a summer cat.

How long ago did he do that one? I'm not going to be very happy if mine looks like that

Anybody get theirs back?

Still nothing for me

2 years is quite a long time. Sounds like he his good but more of a hobby thing. If you cant turn around an animal within 12-14 months then you should learn either to limit yourself or find a new hobby. I would be furious if he never called or texted back, that customer satisfaction 101. Chief you should try B & B taxidermy, I received my full pedestal mount on stand whitetail back in around 6 months.

I'm waiting on a freaking bobcat rug mount from a taxi guy out of sugar land area not exactly sure off city or town since I dropped it off December of 2015 [emoji15] hardly no word from him
And he has 1/2 the money and gave him 2 buck capes as well

If you find a taxidermist that can finish a job within 6 month and does quality work, let me know. Sounds like a unicorn.

Frank Mcarty Lufkin Texas. Pay up front 6-8 months and has been around forever! ��

Well all I know is that Clay Wagner has been known to have other taxidermists mount his work for him. He did this with a coyote of mine, a snake of a guy I know, and a bobcat of a friend. Hope that you're cool with that because it's a real possibility.

Was that coyote a competition piece that was done at a commercial price?

Sounds like you need to go get your animal.

2-3 years on a taxidermy mount is absurd.

I would be driving to his shop!

It's very common for taxidermists to sub-out work. No different than the shops that have several taxidermists working in them. I don't personally know Clay so I can't speak for his practices.

"Absurd" is a strong term. But it is a long time. I'm still cranking out a few from the 2015-2016 season (1.5 years give or take) but I believe I have spoken to everyone about why (built a house and shop). Tried to explain to most before they dropped off their animals that it might take longer than usual but I'm sure I missed a few.


Carry on...

2-3 years IS absurd but we'll carry on for sure.

Not 100% sure..... ask the forum member that told you that.

x2!

For a full time taxi that is rediculous

2 years is the average for taxidermists here in Alaska. Believe it or not.
