Steve, well said. I am so with you but just a reminder, it's all about respect for the animal, remember, you just took they're life. Can't speak for Steve but having watched people die..... it's about respect.

If someone killed me ... I would want them to do at least a shoulder mount outta me ... So i know they respect me !

I will never give sugar creek any business ever again. Long story but a buddy of mine shot a bison and made arrangements with Marco to drive approximately 14 hours to drop it off. After he made the drive Marco refused him because he took in some other work since they had first talked. The way he pulled a fast one like that convinced me he's not interested in doing work for locals, friends and repeat customers. That plus a deer he did for me in 2008 is falling apart. That's a whole other story.

Sorry to hear that as I know Marco has high moral values. .he has opened late to allow me to drop off pronghorn , always responded to questions and suggestions, he does what he says..not many I would stand up for..cut I have had a few bad ones..lol come look at my first Cali sheep..but my whitetail, pronghorn are worth the trip..when i get a cat..lynx and cougar it will go to Marco..
Must be more to the story with your buds situation?

If your deer is " falling apart " and was done in 2009..take it in for Marco to look at, listen to you..and fix it.
Your buddies story and your deer don't add up with 12 or more years dealing with Marco..and i live well within BC borders. And coming back for moose, whitetail, mulie, elk this fall.
I am serious, please return with your deer to Marco..to ensure your happy..until that is done pretty easy to public ally raise concerns..that make Marco look bad..if he isn't aware..isn't willing to step up..i wouldn't be willing to continue to use his services.
He has repeatable won the Masters Professional class with numerous animals..a true artist....incredible talent. But yes it must last. .more than 8 years .
Thank you for your honesty. .however imo" so is Marco and a stand up guy..give him a chance with whatever is happening to your prized mount..if he blows you off and your not satisfied..i want to know..i know over 100 mounts..100% look awesome never heard of any issues ever.

I'm off to hunt wolves and will be checking how you made out.
Again great cougar..we can agree it's worth the best.

Nice cat and some really good pics which you will likely treasure as much as the mount.

Hi James ..talked with Marco..you have visited other sites regarding your deer..yet you still havnt talked with Marco..it won't get solved if you don't contact Marco..complaining only gets you so far..as with the bison..2 sides to a story.
Cheers
