I hate to make this post but in order to keep our turnaround times somewhat reasonable we are not accepting any Alligators this year and we are not accepting any mammals like bobcat, coyote, fox or tanned hides this year …. Due to some other local taxidermist cutting off work we have become overwhelmed and cannot keep going like in the past as we are overwhelmed with phone calls checking on there mounts and we have to stop working to see where the project is ….. we will also be putting a limit to be determined on deer this year so please don’t get discouraged if we turn you away as we can only do so much and will be happy to refer you to another competent taxidermist….. we are just overwhelmed with work and are trying to get our turn around times back under 1 year.
Thanks and hope you understand!!

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance.

You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All the while being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.
It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.

Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

And know that 2022 prices are not 2023 prices.

I copied this from another small business owner that I support!

Please support small business! 🖤🖤🖤
JUST NORMAL PEOPLE WE ARE HUMAN TOO. Pray for us please….
