Very few cat mounts if there done right are slapped on a stock form. Some of mine get cut into 20 pieces and ALL of my turkeys are built from the ground up including a head and bodies, my customers can ALWAYS get ahold of me that is plan old profesonalisim! But your right a yrs and couple months at too long but you should be readily acsesable!

Very many bobcats are mounted right on forms as evidenced by member's pictures on this sight.Wayne Miller's cat's don't utilize commercial forms.There are very,very few taxidermists in the US,have the skill and knowledge to do this.

Your right wrapped forms are an art all there own, and up too 2 yrs ant bad but when I'm back logged my customers know without a doubt I'm 18 to 20 months out. That's all I'm saying. If it had been made Crystal clear this guys conserns would be null and void!

The length of time wouldn't be an issue for me. The not being able to get in contact with him is an issue. I'm sure he is aware of people trying to contact him and he is dodging them. That is a concern no matter how talented a person is. Unaccusable IMO with money already paid he needs to learn the value and consider the other person.

He told me he was setting the eyes and it would be ready in a couple of weeks. That was three or four months ago. If he would have said I'll have it for you in two years it wouldn't be a problem. I've got his cell phone number and still can't get a response. He shouldn't make promises and not keep them. I don't expect to get my mount or the money for the 6 cats I sent him at this point. I just wanted to warn my fellow trappers about this guy.

I wouldn't write it off,jptrappin.I think you will get your mount.If you don't,you made a deal and I'd stick with it till I was compensated.You aren't out of options.Don't give up.

Wayne sent me a pm on here and also called me just a minute ago. He said I should be receiving my mount in a couple of weeks. I hope it happens. Thanks jason

I have no excuse didn't keep my word and in contact with you Sorry Jason!
I will make it right.

Wayne

Great to hear.

Outstanding! I'm glad all worked out jptrappin. I would love to see that mount when you get it.

Good deal, as I thought all along.
I'm sure you'll be in awe of your mount.

Glade too hear it all worked out!

Jptrappin Did You get Your Mount? I've been waiting for 2 years to get 1 of the 3 Raccoons I sent to Kelly Waynes daughter ..She Has Promised me For Months She Would Get Started on The 1st one (all Sent The Same Time) Its Excuse after Excuse. She does Excellent Work but The Communication is Another Story. Wayne if You see this and Can Get some Answers I would Appreciate it,These all Are special Coons an Albino,Cinnamon,and Fisher Coon. Thank you,Coonman11

I'm in the same boat, except mine is a normal coon, just my first.

TTT

If you expect to get a traditionally mounted animal his mounts are not, and they are not wrapped,they are stuffed with Polly fill it’s and freeze dried. I hope you have gotten this straightened out by now!

Freeze dried NEVER are you nuts what a liar

This is what is in my mounts.. polyurethane foam ,clay, epoxy glue, excelsior, pollyfill, fiberglass, sculpt all epoxy, galvanized wire
pins ,sometimes wood ,alcohol and acid and well preserved skin thats it..

That guys cat was one of the last cats i did for someone i think i told him 12 months i took 15 he got his cat years years ago!
are we clear now.

p s Thank you to the trappers on here these are some cats from this site

Wayne

Outstanding work. Best I've ever seen.

Excellent cats

In late 2020 I delivered more than 150 frozen whole animals to Wayne Miller at his shop. The animals were mink, otter, marten, fishers & weasels. Mr. Miller paid in advance and even gave me extra money upon delivery. I observed a bunch of finished stuff in his shop. I'm no taxidermist, but what I saw was work of the highest quality. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about the business I did with Mr. Miller.
