Terms and Conditions

Legality of Your Trophy

Deposits

ALL mounts require a minimum of 50% deposit before any work will begin. Any deer or elk with less then 2 points on each antler are required to pay 100% at time of drop off.

Turn Around Times

All turn around times are an estimate and subject to change due to seasonal demands, third parties and other factors. As such they cannot be guaranteed. We will do our best to keep them as close to the estimated date as possible.

Storage Fees

After 14 days of being notified of completion, all mounts are subject to a $10 per day storage fee. After 30 days the mount will be considered abandoned and become property of J2 Taxidermy and Logistics regardless of any deposit paid. Abandoned mounts will be sold to recoup any cost of the mount, and all monies will be forfeited to J2 Taxidermy and Logistics from customer. We will however make ample contact attempts (up to three) via phone call, text message, or letter if address is given. It is the customers job to make sure we have the correct phone number and mailing address on file.

All animals dropped off with J2 Taxidermy and Logistics must be legally harvested and tagged per Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks. We require an ALS number to be given at time of drop off. Any trophy that requires a Hide seal or Cites tag must have them tagged and inspected by FWP prior to dropping off at J2 Taxidermy and Logistics. We will turn away and trophy that does not have the proper seal or cites tag. All deposits for any trophy that is confiscated by Montana FWP or other agencies for being illegally harvested, will be forfeited to J2 Taxidermy and Logistics and will NOT be subject to a refund! We strive to keep our business in good standing with FWP and other agencies, and we have an open door policy for any FWP employee or Warden to come into our facility and inspect any trophy at any time. We will not jeopardize our good standing and credibility with FWP for any reason what so ever. MAKE SURE YOUR TROPHY IS LEAGAL BEFORE YOU BRING IT TO US!!!
