Out of the Wild Taxidermy Tom Norman Tom Norman a scamster and crook stole my money and ruined my deer head Thonotosassa, Florida
I hired Tom to mount my deer head and to tan a deer hide. After many tries Mr Norman would never answer my calls. So I showed up at his house. He walked out with a deer head that was missing its shoulders. Literely it was just the head and horns. I have never seen anything like this in my life. He then went on to blame me for giving him a bad hide. I informed him that if he would have called me I would have never wanted to go ahead with the job. He just drank another beer and walked away. When I asked him when my deer hide will be ready he just smiled and said soon. To date he wont answer my phone, he took my money and still has my deer hide. Please beware of this guy. If you give him your money and mount you could possibly get way less then what you wanted. RUN AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

Mike my number hasnt changed in 15 years. Im not in the business of ripping people off. That is the reason I have had customers come back year after year for over thirty years. This situation could have be easily resolved with a simple phone call. If you would like call me and Im sure we could resolve this situation.

In fact you gave me the deer head and said my daughters deer hide was still out gettting tanned. If you would have called me and stated the hide was ruined I would have gotten you another one. Wow, guess you should have thought of that MR Artist. When I called back in a week your number was disconected. Now years later after you have moved out of the mobile home park, I stll have not recieved my deer hide, or a call from you. Guess your gearing up for hunting season, and need to make some money. I still have my receipt. We can surely take this case to the Florida Consumer protection if you like. If I were you I would just keep my mouth shut.

I know who you are. You brought me a deer from a high fenced ranch you hunted on. When I was given the deer to mount I informed you that the animal was improperly caped.
I asked you what you wanted to do and your response was" with the money I paid for the hunt I want it mounted". I am a National award winning wildlife artist. When a customer brings me a deer that was caped in the middle of the neck. That is what you get back.
It would be appreciated if you direct your anger at the incompetent person you had cape your game and not smear my name for giving you the best I could for the mess of a cape you brought me. You have your animal and I owe you nothing
