I had a difficult time finding a taxidermist that would mount a woodcock. Everyone I spoke to that…read morewas somewhat close to my home in North Jersey said that they were too small to deal with. I finally tried Northeast Taxidermy after seeing a beautifully mounted woodcock on their website. They told me to bring it in and they would take a look at it to see if it was feasible. The shop is almost 2 hours away, but not a bad trip at all. Owners Joe and Lowrey, are really great people, they showed me around their really impressive facility, and took the bird in. About 4 months later, I received a call from Lowrey, saying the bird was done. I picked it up today, and I was absolutely blown away by the incredible job. The bird is flying, mounted on a nice piece of driftwood, and has a hook on the back to hang it on the wall. I could not be happier.

I bring my deer from upstate there, also I pass several other places on long island, I come from farmingdale in nasssu, to go to emmi. The taxidermy is flawless. The absolute best around.

Baby, it's cold outside, and it's hunting season. Both things speak to furs, furs, furs…read more I had my own fur to deal with this season. Won't get too into it, but basically I accidentally salvaged a raccoon off the side of the road and successfully skinned it with a partner in crime and the help of a YouTube video. We had a perfect, furry raccoon hide in the freezer and didn't know what the hell to do. Attempts to stretch it over the nose of my surfboard and flesh it soon intimidated us; YouTube tutorials weren't helping in that regard and we had none of the equipment to properly remove the fat, cartilage, and offal from the inside of the hide. In desperation, I performed multiple searches for "taxidermist," since "flesher" seemed too esoteric and horrifying. A search on Yelp just revealed cool bars, galleries, and stores featuring taxidermy. Finally, I found this article: http://nypost.com/2011/08/08/new-york-citys-last-taxidermist-has-the-right-stuff/ Gathering up all my courage, I called this man and asked if he did fleshing. Of course he did, for a mere $25 bucks! Still, it took a couple phone calls of my futile question-asking before I realized that, not only did I not have any alternative in this city, but this guy really knew what he was doing. He was talking about how the ears had to be "turned out" and the cartilage in the nose had to be something-or-othered so it wouldn't pucker up as it dried. Good thing I asked to confirm his business location, too, because it turns out that Mr. Youngaitis has moved offices from Cypress Hills Taxidermy Studio in Brooklyn to a spot labeled "TAXIDERMY" on a rather residential road in Middle Village, Queens (http://thebrooklynink.com/2011/07/18/26501-new-yorks-only-taxidermist-stuffs-his-last/). There's plenty of street parking, or a little hoofing from the Middle Village M-train stop will get you there. What I saw was a super small, glassy storefront with no one in it, but tons of animals, seemingly one of each under the sun: bear, rabbit, swordfish, chameleon, bird, housecat, buck...honestly, the list goes on and on, nearly putting the American Natural History Museum to shame. Seriously. I rang the doorbell, and the man himself appeared, talking on his cell phone to another avid inquirer. He was very approachable and reassuring, and patient when I required a whole lot more reassuring. Note: vendor accepts CASH ONLY, but if you're still stuck cashless like me, there's a deli around the corner of an auto shop that has a 99-cent fee ATM. When I handed him $25, he said, "Oh, you could have just put down a deposit!" but then shrugged, and marked me paid in his paper records. This done, I left my rolled up, ziplocked raccoon skin right there on his table and left on faith that he'd call anytime between that day (mid-November) and the beginning of the new year. Already, a whole family had crammed into the store, and John's phone was ringing off the hook as hunters made appointments to drag in their prizes. And it's not just killers of animals who consult John for his comprehensive animal preservation services, either; lots of people want to immortalize their dear pets. And others are just randos like me who peeled the skin off a sadly slain animal and then didn't know where to go from there. I got a call right after Thanksgiving. There were the animals again, and there was John, with the raccoon in the same plastic bag I'd left it in, only this time it was completely clean and salted and a hell of a lot lighter, ready for tanning by either me or a service. He said he had a tanning guy (to make a soft, wearable pelt instead of a hardened, furry relic). But I proudly told him I'd look into some kits, and that I could take it from there. But seriously, if you need a taxidermist, John Youngaitis knows that he's doing. You can tell by the remarkably lifelike specimens in his store, which he did all by himself or with his father. And if you need someone to clean out a fresh skin so you can send it to a tanner, again, John's your man. Fleshing is the part of the process that is most critical and hardest to pull off since not doing a good job leads to rot. I almost want to skin an animal again so I can go give him more business, but I won't seek out the opportunity; one experience is enough. Anyway, he seems plenty busy - busier than you all might think in a city where there are only really rats, pigeons, and squirrels. Thank you, John!

Lisa told us to pick the bathroom fixtures and she would order shower rough in. I sent her an email with faucet model (she said that was all she needed). Six weeks later Lisa said that she never got the email. When I showed her the email she changed her story to there was not enough info for her to place order. I asked why she did not tell me. She said that she was not going to "babysit" me. We were going to use a pedestal sink in the guest bath. After tile was installed Lisa told us she would have needed to know earlier. We had to use a vanity. We wanted recessed medicine cabinets. She installed surface mounted. I asked why she did not give us a choice. Her response: "There are hundreds of things that I do not ask you." Her mistakes cost us over $2,000. Contractors left garbage that we had to take to dump Before we started Lisa said we would shop around for windows on sale. She later took us where she always buys windows and said the sales were "bull****". We specified switch to turn on light linen closet door opened. Instead they put a switch inside closet. Sills on windows that they installed were scratched. They did not put down anything to protect wooden floors. I had to do that myself. They wanted my wife to drive 2 hrs to move beds out of a bedroom, They finally moved the beds but not without complaining. Breaker kept tripping. I had to figure out what was causing the problem and fix it myself. Another light switch that they installed was not wired to anything - just screwed into the electrical box. I ran wires for outdoor cameras because they did not have anyone to do it. They closed up the walls where the wires were coming out for the DVR. I had to make holes in the sheetrock to find out where the wires were. They wanted me to do the demo work for the A/C vents. I had no choice but to do the work because they walked off the job. I made the mistake of going by her demo plan - which was wrong. When A/C company showed up they were nice enough to do the extra work. In order to program the thermostats I had to know how many wires there were attached to the thermostats that they installed. Her answer "I don't know. You bought the thermostats." We paid them an $11,000 management fee. After about a year she said that we used up the fee and "had no time for our job". She stopped returning calls & emails Lisa promised contractors' release of lien after the final payment. It has been over 6 months - no releases. List goes on and on. these are only a few examples. They did not live up to contract that they signed. Try at your own risk.
