Arey’s Wildlife Taxidermy Taxidermist in Blairsville Georgia specializing in all types of game animals

05/23/2025

This message is to inform everyone that has trusted Arey’s Taxidermy, (Tommy), with their trophy harvest. I have no choice but to close my business and return everybody’s mounts, along with deposits in a timely matter.
After 16 years as a taxidermist in 3 diferent states, I have made a lot of friends and have had a lot of satisfied and repeat customers for my artwork. I have never had an issue in the past mounting and returning mounts within a timely matter until the last few years until current as I have been battling several terrible health issues along with recent misdemeaner charges for operating a taxidermy business with an expired taxidermy license due to my negligence of knowing the experation date
This is a very humbling and embarrassing thing to admit, but i need to be totally honest about it and so i will only be focusing on making things right with everyone that i have let down. My sincere apologies will never be enough, but I can assure everyone that it was never my intentions to not follow through with our agreement at drop off.
This will be a difficult process returning everything as both of our work schedules etc need to be considered. I will start contacting everyone asap to arrange pick up days and times.
Any questions and concerns will be addressed and all calls and texts will be answered or returned as quickly as possible at 706-244-6590
Once again my sincere apologies and I appreciate y’all’s understanding and continued patience and I can only pray that all frustrations and comments be directed to me only personally as my reputation has already been damaged enough, and I understand that I deserve it from many frustrated customers due to my negligence and i would appreciate that.
God bless and thank you!
🙏

Arey’s Wildlife Taxidermy would like to wish everyone a safe, enjoyable and memorable hunting season 2024/2025.
We will once again not be taking anything in this season. Just trying to finish up and return mounts from the last couple of hunting seasons.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions at 706-244-6590 and ask for Tommy and I will be sure to answer or return calls as soon as possible.
It’s been a very difficult last few years for my family and I because of personal and health issues and so we all agreed that it would be best to retire from the business after 15 years.
I have many loyal customers that I will miss. I also have been blessed to meet a lot of new customers also over the years. Some of them unfortunately have had to wait way too long for their mounts to be returned and I sincerely apologize. This was never my intention and has never been a problem in the past. I will strive to complete those mounts as quickly as possible or return the cape and antlers upon request.
Thank you for your understanding. God bless and safe hunting!

I’d like to take a minute and apologize to all of my customers for taking so long to get your mounts completed and returned to you. A few years ago I went the a divorce that really set me back. I was really depressed over it. Just as I thought I was getting over it and back to mounting stuff I came down with a severe case of double lung pneumonia that almost killed me. I was in and out of the hospital for around 6 months. That took me about 10 months to get healthy and strong enough to get back to work. Unfortunately I got hit financially really bad from both of these unfortunate circumstances that occurred so I had to take a part time job just to make ends meet. I am trying my best to get caught up on everyone’s mounts but am only at my shop part time now. Please be patient with me as I strive to make up lost ground. I am no longer as of last year accepting any more animals I am only focusing on finishing up what I have in my freezers. Please feel free to contact me at 706-244-6590 with any questions and concerns. Thank you.
Sincere apologies!!!
