Testimonials

To remain in a competitive business since 1975 requires a commitment to constant improvement. The following was written by Master Taxidermist Coleman Jonas of Jonas Bros Taxidermy in Denver Colorado decades ago. We feel it sums up our mission to do our best to provide our clients with superior service and satisfaction now and in the future.

 “No competition on the top”

A piece of taxidermy work is like a fine painting- a luxury, and is regarded as such by the discriminating sportsman. Consequently, more than ever before, we have to put forth greater effort to produce a piece of work that will be admired, appreciated and desired.

For over fifty years I have seen taxidermy pass through its various stages, and from my observation and experience, I say to all my fellow taxidermists- you cannot, for one moment regard taxidermy as anything else but “art”. It cannot be successfully commercialized to the extent of taking in a volume of work- turning it out at the rate of “so many per day or week,”  for a price that would not half cover the honest effort necessary to produce and artistic piece of work!

Be honest with yourself and your customer. Give him his money’s worth, but don’t give your time and efforts away. It is far better to take  only a few jobs, ask a fair price and devote the time to each, necessary to produce a piece of work that will be a credit to you and your shop. Constantly strive to improve your work. Keep abreast of the times- of changing and improved methods. Study always, from actual life-no book can give you such a wealth of information.

Let your shop be indicative of the kind of work you do-clean, artistic and thorough. Use good materials. Display good examples of your work-the kind you would do for your customer. Maintain the respect of the public and the trade.

We monitor our client’s satisfaction or lack of and their recommendations on how to constantly maintain and improve our level of service. Evaluation forms are mailed to our clients within a short time of picking up or receiving their mount. The following comments are used with their permission.

From the day I brought in my deer head and the attention to detail; not only to the finished product, but to the way I wanted my deer head mounted was excellent, to the day I brought it home.
