Gray Taxidermy Gray's Taxidermy High pressure sale of "taxidermy" on fishing trip in Mexico turns out to be replica, only. Pompano Beach Fl
We went on a charter fishing trip near Cancun, Mexico. Caught a big sail fish. Before pulling it in, the mate asked if we wanted the fish mounted because, he said, it was a rare large catch. Said he could not tell us how much it would cost but we really should get it mounted. In the excitement we said sure and the fish was reeled in. The mate then killed the fish by bending it to break its neck. he then measured it to be 74 inches. He was wearing a t-shirt from Gray Taxidermy.
On the return trip, we Were rushed to complete the paperwork for Gray including the estimate and required deposit.
Riding back in the van with guests who had been on other charters, a fellow told us he had Gray mount a sail fish for him and that it was fiberglass, only - not any part of the fish was included. That is not "taxidermy". We decided we do not want 74 inches of fiberglass, at considerable expense - we were told it would be our fish, mounted.
Returning to the U.S., we instructed our bank not to pay. We tried calling Gray but there was no answer. We emailed Gray and they called and we spoke with us. We said we wanted to cancel because we had been promised our fish would be mounted but he confirmed it was not our fish or any part of it but was to be a replica. Again, we said we did not want that and would not accept that. Now we are going around and around with our bank to try and get our $674 deposit back.
