I want to take some time this morning to let all of you know
at Gray Taxidermy how pleased I am, not only by my 85", 175
lb. Tarpon Trophy, but by your customer service department as well. From
the artist to the salesman to the shipping company and the person who
crated the mount, I was treated with the utmost respect and courtesy,
treated, in fact, as if I were your only customer. And though I shopped
pricing on this trophy with other taxidermy companies, and could have
gotten the mount cheaper, I am glad that I did not go the cheaper route.
Indeed, my friend, who also caught a trophy tarpon that day, allowed his
taxidermy to be done by a Gray competitor, hoping to save some money. I
saw his tarpon yesterday, and he saw mine, and we both agreed that a certainly
person gets what he pays for. This is to say that if you select a
"factory" taxidermist, you will get
"factory" quality work. My trophy is realistic, life-like,
colored to perfection, and could be hung in a museum; my friend's tarpon is
more suited for the wall of a cheap inland seafood restaurant; the
"factory"' tarpon has little coloring, no gills, and looks nothing
like what he actually caught, while my tarpon looks just like it did when I
pulled it from the water.
I am not new to taxidermy; in fact, I have a dedicated
trophy room with over 50 fish and animals, and the tarpon is the center of
attention when anyone enters the room, almost overshadowing a a full-mount
standing brown bear... So, when I catch another trophy, even if it's a
goliath tigerfish or a nile perch when I'm in Africa
this October, it won't go to the nearest taxidermist some local recommends to
me - it will go to Gray Taxidermy.
At any rate, I just wanted to share my thoughts with you on
how pleased I am with your work and customer service. As I said, a person gets
what he pays for, and you are more than welcome to share my sentiments on your
website or with anyone who questions the price of museum quality taxidermy.
Sincerely,
The Honorable A. Henderson Scott, Commissioner
