As you can see, it has been a LONG time since I have updated. My business has grown exponentially in the last year. I just won my first blue ribbon in a professional level competition, as well as the Taxidermy Today Magazine Woody Award. I have also been extremely busy just trying to get everyone's mount back to them on time. Since I started New Life Taxidermy in 2001, I have tried to keep turn around times to 6 months or less. I have been very successful with that goal, but the demand for my services has reached a level where I can no longer deliver everyone's mount to them within 6 months. So, beginning this fall, I will begin quoting turn around times of up to 1 year. Many customers will still get their mounts back within 6 months, but as the work comes in return times will stretch to 1 year. The only other options I have are to decrease the quality of my work or significantly increase my prices. For customers that really want their mounts back quickly, I will be offering expedited service for an additional fee. Otherwise, I will keep my prices about the same as they were last fall.

Thanks so much for your patience, understanding, and support as my business grows. My goal is and always has been to give my customers top quality taxidermy that they can be proud to display in their home or office along with exceptional customer service. Thanks also for referring your friends, family, and co-workers to me. That is the greatest compliment that my customers pay me.
