I agree with J.Parker. Most all pro Taxidermists only need a 50% deposit to cover their supplies. Waterfowl or any Migratory birds may be different. It is illegal to sell any Migratory bird mount if the customer doesn't pick it up (unless they are documented as coming from a licensed bird breeder). It is not uncommon to pay 100% down on Migratory birds. Sounds like the guy wasn't too concerned once he had all of your money. You can report his actions (or lack of) to his State Taxidermy Assoc. or the National Taxidermy Assoc. Also, the BBB. Sorry for your hassle. Hope your mount turned out nice. grayghost
