how many of you have actually lossed business to Wildlife gallery/modern fur dre

[mk]

Look, if they are getting skins in from bear and caribou outfitters directly from the client, then yeah who the hell are they suppossed to call ? 

[Randy Miller]

 No comparison in the finished product - Carolina is better HANDS DOWN, and they're not taking work away from the taxidermist.

 I can't understand why a taxidermist would continue to send anything to The Wildlife Gallery after what's happened.

You guys can send your work to Carolina but I'm not waiting seven months for deer capes to be returned. They ought to hire some more shavers if they can't get the work out faster than that horrible turnaround time.

[Trotax]

I wont be using Carolina this year. Turn around was good. But the shaving not so good. I wasnt impressed.

There are nitches in every market where money can be made. I love reading about the what businesses are doing causing them to lose customers. What better advice can you get to apply to your own business?! That sounds like a great idea and selling point to Canadian outfitters to go and retrieve the animals. That's innovative. Shrewd? Maybe, but clever. I don't like what I've learned about them importing the hides at the expense of another dermist. That's innapropriate and will catch up with them somehow. Be it a lawsuit or just plain loss of business due to wprd of mouth. I will be in the market for a different tannery with a comparable turnaround time. Maybe I'll just go drive truck for them and deliver all of the hides to you guys. And tell em they got lost! JK!;-)

I don`t believe this is about the stealing of a large mass of clients, there ethical practices have only effected a small percentage of Taxidermists. The real issue is will we roll over and take it, or make a stand. I`am sure WG has never taken one client from me, but, I believe that had they the opportunity, they most certainly would have given there best shot. I do not agree with there "mission statement" and I can and will do something about it. I will no longer use them or there sister tannery as one of my tanneries!

[Taflinger]

Why make their sister tannery suffer BDrake? Its not the employees fault that the WG bought them out.

   Same company !!  If your not going to use them . Then don't use them at all. Makes sense to me ..

[Jerry Huffaker]

There's no such thing as a sister company, it's the same business, just done out of a different building.

[BDrake]

Then what about walmart? Some people dislike walmart for whatever reason and refuse to shop there, should they go ahead and support them for the sake of the employees? No one shoulld ever strike or boycott a company?
Maybe the employees should start there own/new tannery. It would be successful.

[Tophat]

I never have sent them anything and sure don't plan to now that I have heard all of this. It will catch up with them one way or the other.

I hope nobody thinks that WG is the only tannery that is doing taxidermy also. if you go to the suppliers page and look at tanneries you will find others that are doing taxidermy as well. I do not know if they are calling customers of taxidermist to solicit work from them. I would hope not as I use one of them. As far as WG I will not be using them for this reason in the future whether it is true or not just prefer not to take a chance.

any one can do a fast tur around just get the rush service and you can have skins back in 30 days thats plenty of time to get the work done just price for the extra cost

[Randy Miller]

How many of YOUR customers want to pay the rush costs on a routine basis?

[Big Gamer]

i have been doing taxidermy for a long time and so have many of you so you know how much it takes to do it so would you like to have the gallerys weekly payroll or stress so if you do go start a tannery and do taxidermy anyone can get a loan my hat is off to them guys thay work hard and pay alot of money to promote work i love the tan and there turn around and ther customer service always say you should use your taxidermist but this is what we can do them guys do lot of with 6 taxidermist and they do great work look at all there awards dont hate  them for working hard do a great job and take good care of your great customers most of your local guys dont want there stuff back to fast because they need to save money
