What is the governing body at the present time that regulates taxidermists in PA? I know it used to be the game commission but heard it is now the Dept of Agriculture or something. Reason I ask is this and I would like opinions on how to handle this problem.
I have a neighbor who is a taxidermist. A few years ago we bartered services where I did work for him in exchange for him doing taxidermy for me. All was good and I ended up with about a $700 credit. I got lucky and shot a piebald deer and he was to do a full body mount for me and we agreed on the price of the mount and obviously I was to pay him the difference on completion. Well that was probably almost 10 years ago. I still do not have my mount and it has been one excuse after another. I know there were some health issues for sometime but all that is well. Everytime I see him he says he will have it in a month and this goes on and on. At this point I don't even want him to finish it and I would like my cape back to take elsewhere and call it a day with him. I can't seem to get results there either as I actually think he has damaged or lost the cape somewhere. I know in the past that if reported to the PGC when they were governing it they would investigate. I really at this point would like to turn him in somewhere and let some authority handle it and hopefully recover my cape and if they can levy penalties to him all the better. What is my recourse or options here?
