A REALLY bad day !!!

This does happen, most of the time a honest mistake that can be fixed. You will know what kind of a taxi he is if he makes an effort to track your buck down . I took in a beautiful 35" hen steelhead and got back a 33 'buck. not happy. But learned a lesson, and let it rest..Nothing I could do about it.so many fish had went in and out he could not track it down.

I hate to even hear of this crap!! Like everyone has said, it happens all the time I'm sure. . .He knows where they are. About 6 years ago I shot a giant 10 pt whitetail here and had the horns sitting inside my Dad's detached garage/ workshop. .only a very few people were told and shown. . .that next day. . .they were gone! Someone drove down my Dad's long lane right up to the garage and stole them while Dad was back in the woods. I'm still sick over it. . .just hope I never see them hanging someplace or it will get ugly in a hurry!!!! We rough scored them at 172". I'm sure they got sold to someone.
Anyway, good luck. I sure hope you find them!!

I read Buzz's post and would offer the same sentiments. (10 years ago - would have driven back to help you make this right = the right way. >What now?

It is unreal - reading your story, my immediate thought was the basterd sold your BIG buck for a quick buck. And there will be no recourse, unles s you put the ol' boy in the hospital. A ticket for assult wil not replace the horns.
You will shoot many more trophies, as Buzz has, and you are a great sportsman. Keep this going!

I have been sharing this story with as many people as I can from the area. Both my dad and I have had taxi work done by Lee's in the past, but not anything since the late 80's. This isn't the first instance of Lee having problems like this; which is why we quit patronizing him.
If anyone in the Hastings, MN or Prescott, WI area is looking for a good taxi to use instead of Lee's, check out John's Outdoors, south of Hastings. I have known the guy since I was a teenager, and he does really good work, he used to have a bow shop along with taxidermy, but got too busy on the taxi side.

I too would recommend John. He does all of our work, and I have never been disappointed. He is a great guy and definitely worth a look at if you are getting something done in this area.
I also bought my first bow ever from John's archery shop!

Get a replacement made if he can't find yours.

He is definately the kind of guy I like to support. He only lives a few miles from where I grew up, and my parents still live.
I started shooting winter leagues at John's with my dad when I was about 12, and used to help him out setting up 3D shoots during the summer. I wish I could still shoot a bow as well as I did back then.
