Most reviewers praise the mounts and processing as top-notch, with realistic taxidermy, great-tasting products, and well-packaged meat, though a few report serious issues with individual jobs.
Service is widely described as friendly, patient, and professional with good communication, but some customers mention poor follow-up or difficulty getting status updates on taxidermy orders.
Reviewers often highlight fast turnaround on processing yet caution that taxidermy work can take 10–13 months and may exceed quoted timelines, and opinions on value range from fair pricing to dissatisfaction in isolated cases.
