I personally know 3 people that have had problems following this "lady" from building to building. One of which is a Huron Township Seargent. 2 years for a Caribou and Elk mount and the same for a Buck mount when promised 6-9 months.
No answers to calls or when they knocked on the door.
Anyone up for a lynching?

The State might be of some help if they are licensed and also the tax man might be of some help too.
I waited two years once for a mount that should have been ready in 9 months.
Taxidermists should be choosen wisely as your once in a lifetime mount deserves the best.
Sorry to hear of your plight.

Yep!
Call or visit you local court. They'll give you a number in Lansing to call. If the business is registered, they can give you a name and address for the person/s DBA Doing Business As. Good Luck! I'm sure they can hook you up.

i used them about 4 years ago, and had a heck of a time getting my mount back as well. my cousin went through the same ordeal with a duck and grouse.
they did a great job on my buck and also did a European mount of a buck for $25 bucks at the same time.
unfortunately, i haven't killed a better buck since my shoulder mount was done, but when i do, i will be contacting a M-S member.

As my son (Dudek) has said, I did go to Hillers and she helped me to mount my buck that I got in 2002. She also showed me how to mount a pheasant that I got. She was very helpful and I was appreciative. A co-worker dropped off a deer there in 2002 (from my referral), to my knowledge, he still has not received it back yet. We did drop off a big mouth bass that my youngest son caught in Florida. We never heard anything about it ever again. They were in a shop on Telegraph and Ready road, then they bought the house next to that shop and worked out of the barn. I then heard that they were off of M50 in Monroe, but have never really looked for that shop. Has anyone found them yet? I did not know that her husband was in a accident. Does anyone have an update on him. He was a nice guy as well. If I could refer another taxidermist in the area, it would be Gary Brown. Look him up. He works out of his house, he is lisenced and he is good with a good turnaround time. He's in the book........
