John Baker os Safari Taxidermy currently has 3 mounts of ours and has our deposits. He will not return phone calls and will not return emails. He has missed several deadlines. I want my stuff back. At this point and time I can not locate a current address on him. Does anyone know where he has moved to. Does anyone know where he lives. I am making a trip this week to Corpus to file charges against him. I have noticed on other online forums that I am not the only person in the same shape I am in. Can anyone on here help me with some info on this person.

I do not know if this is the same one that posted ads on craigslist about two to three weeks ago. He was liquidating all of his stuff and getting out of the business. I was looking for a bow for my kids and saw that it was up around Kenedy, Karnes city area. I never followed up. But you might try to see if he is still posting on craigslist, Under Corpus Christ, Sporting Goods, He had all kinds of mounts for sale as well. HOpe it was not your person.

Anytime someone that has half a clue can open a shop in their spare room or garage and there is no licensing or anyone to hold them accountable , this type of things will contiue to happen.

Also for some reason alot of taxidermists are a bit different, might be from inhaling all those chemical fumes Laughing

John has had some good reviews from forum members in the past. This is new stuff to me. I hope it works out for you.

John has two of my geese and my deposits for almost three years now. First it was missed deadlines and now he does not return my calls or answer emails.

Let me know if you find him.
I at least want my deposits back!

Man I hope you guys get your money or birds back. I ALMOST took a few ducks to him.

PM me if you want a good reliable taxidermist in Corpus. He does great work and is very honest. Here is a teal he did for me.

This picture doesnt really do it justice- I will try and find another close up of it. He did the teal for me- not the pintail.

Not sure whats going on now but John has always come through with great work on the mounts he has done for my buddies and I. Confused

I would try talking to some other taxidermists - tell them you have some work if you can get your birds back. Just need to know where to find the guy. Gotta be a pretty small community.

Thank to the help from Marty Prater we finally where able to get back 1 of 3 animals which just happened to be the most important one. Thank You Marty. John Baker and http://www.safaritaxidermy.com/ are now out of business. If you use John Baker for work you will use him with great risk to your trophy's. Thanks Marty for your help.
