If you know BOTH sides of the story, what's the other side of it?

well lets hear it then.Mine is i took him the turkey.He kept saying it was ready to put on the form.then last season he said it was almost ready.now he says hes about ready to mount it.
 
Yeah and how about my Smallmouth you've had for 12 or so years? Are you still waiting to paint it?

I'm not trying to highjack your thread Rafl but if he's gonna give explinations I'd like to have one too
 
If you left a deer head in dec 2010, checked on it in jan 2012, and was told "Im working on it now", how long should it be four your deer head is ready?
 
No my name is not Skiles and Mr Skiles is behind....but its not all his fault he had 60 plus heads get lost in transition to him.....that causes a major delay....along with mounting in upwards of two hundred deer a year....for a man his age that's pretty darn good.....he has birds that he has had longer than yours and he is doing his best to get them out....he has relates that to all his customers.....if you are not pleased with his speed simply go get your bird.....I myself will wait I know what kind of work he does ....and I don't mind waiting 10 years if I have to.....there is a taxidermist in leniot city who has a 8.5 lb brown trout of mine for 6 years ......does it bother me yes...but I I know he has it and he will get it to me when he can......I don't go posting rude things about him on here.....maybe he has had problems with family and had to take time to fix that......I bet if you asked benny what all has caused him to br behind on turkeys the past 5 years you would be shocked ny his anwser and would regret posting the comment you made.......I can promise you I would I hope I never go through what he has been through anytime soon......that's all I am gonna say on this subject.....
 
But why would he keep taking in hundreds of animals every year when he is 5 years behind?? And why would he not just be honest and tell someone that he's 5 years behind and it might be a few years before he can get started on their mount?? If he is 70 years old there is a chance of him passing on at any time and if that were to happen who knows what would happen to your animal??

So you really believe his story that the guy lost his turkey heads for that long?I could get on the internet and buy a head today from a taxidermy shop so thats no reason.I don't like him lying to me either way.I plan on getting the turkey back next time I go by his place.

^^^ Ding, ding, ding! We have a WINNER!! ^^^
 
I can't speak for Rafi but I was told he was behind on his turkeys and it would take some time....he has all his animals numbered and written down so losing it if he passes wouldn't be an obstacle....he isn't five years behind either on deer which he specializes in (about a year).....he is an award winning turkey taxidermist and it takes him awhile.....but as previously stated I will wait his work is priced better than any other taxidermist in the area fir the work he does....
 
Is 5 years the norm with this fellow? Have a friend who took him a deer some time in 2010 and dont thank he got it back yet. have to ask him about it. anybody not got a deer back from him? would thank if much over a year somethings not right.

5 years is awhile ......he is usually pretty quick on most stuff ....I am sure he will take care of you when its done.....benny is a hood person and my book and will make things right....

not sure what a punk is or a hood person but what would be pretty quick on a deer?
 
Dude are you seriously saying 5 years is ok? Roflmao
1.5 years on a deer? Lol
12 years for a small mouth? Holy crap
I would be seriously pissed if he was doing a mount for me
 
sounds like the guy needs to hire some help and get things caught up. Its not that difficult of a concept. If it was me I would go get my stuff and take it somewhere else. Would you leave your truck for a week at the shop to get an oil change?
 
I just learned of this site and the comments you made about Benny this week.First off,if you have a problem with him,go and see him yourself,and I'm sure he will do whatever needs to be done to fix it.As far as his character goes,there is not a more honest and caring man in the world.He always puts friends and family first.You may have a problem getting your bird back,but this whole thing just doesn't sound right to me.I have known him for 50+ years,and I have a home full of work he has done.His work is A NUMBER ONE,and yes it takes a while to get it back,but it is well worth the wait.He is 75 years old,and does all the work by himself,and you don't know the many,many nights he is working until 1 or 2 in the morning,plus in the past few years taking care of relatives that have been gravely ill.Before you judge a man's character,you need to know the man yourself,and do what he does.You have a whole chain of crap started now with your comments,and there is freedom of speech.You can say what you want,but where I come from you see the man face to face,not post chicken crap comments about him.I can give you hundreds of names of very satisfied cutomers from all over Tennessee and other states as well,that will tell you otherwise.As for yor comments,and the trickle down effect.If it loks like chicken crap,and smells like chicken crap,then it must be.
 
Well seeing how old this thread is.....

Sounds like some unhappy customers.... Maybe he needs to work on his customer relations or something.... Maybe instead of stringing customers along.... he needs to wrap up business and close shop to take care of ill family members. At some point you have to look at your priorities.

I don't know this guy from Adam.... but you either stick to your word or be in contact with customers about the progress/problems... Unhappy customers is bad for business no matter what the reason.... communication is number 1.
