Was looking for a taxidermist as time was of the essence coming home with a trophy buck on a Sat…read morenight. Early Sunday morning I started looking and calling local taxidermists. Simon was the FIRST to respond, prompt on returning my call. Within a few hours, I was at his property in Norco where he works from. My initial impression was great. Simons eagerness and professionalism was shown as he expressed his own passion for hunting. He is a small business owner which allows him to work around the clock. To be able to a prompt response on a Sunday morning is unheard of! Simon sent pictures of steps he's taken to prepare for the process and has included me in every step. Within 2 days, this buck has officially been scored by the Boone and Crocket Club. Simon also mailed us a copy for record. I am so glad Simon responded and is the one handling this entire process for us. Simon is highly recommended!

Update to my status. I submitted a Small Claims Case with the Corona Courthouse. Simon declined to…read moreshow up to either of the two hearings, despite being served twice. Due in part, I received a judgement in my favor. In all, the judge found Simon Romero guilty - he took my money, took my birds and did not perform the service he guaranteed to me almost 5 years ago. If you are in the same situation and are considering submitted a Small Claims Case against Simon Romero, you can access the case files, they should be public records by now. Case number is SCCO 2500369. The process was tedious and lengthy, but there's relief knowing the court made a judgement in my favor; Simon's Taxidermy should no longer be in business given the amount of clients that have found themselves in my same scenario.

Preserved Pets' memorial of my beloved French Bulldog, Manu, allows me to feel the delight and joy…read moremy baby boy gave me in his 14 years of being my constant companion. When Manu's liver failed mid-2024, I couldn't imagine memorializing him as a pile of ashes in a wooden box. That didn't compute in my mind; it felt foreign and cold. Luckily, his breeder had worked with Preserved Pets prior, and normalized my notion of preserving him whole. A few friends of mine were weirded out when I told them of taxidermy. I've never had anything preserved like this in my life and I'm so glad I chose this. I did right by my lil Frenchie when he was alive and well, starting as a 14 week old puppy, all the way until his twilight years. Now this encased memorialization of him comforts and heals my family and I. Forever in our hearts!

I am an active duty Marine and an avid hunter and this guy is by far the worst taxidermist and…read morebusiness person I have ever come across. Mr. Campbell works out of his home which is fairly common for several of the taxidermists I've come across and I have never had an issue with this business model in my previous dealings with other taxidermists. However, Mr. Campbell does not have a clean area and his house/taxidermy shop is in absolute shambles with skins, taxidermy materials and projects in various states of completion just strewn about or haphazardly lying on the floor. Not exactly where I want my mounts to be, where they can be damaged or lost among the mess. Second, this guy initially told me the two Whitetail shoulder mounts I brought him would be completed in 4-6 months. That sounded reasonable to me as previous mounts I have had done elsewhere take anything from 6-9 months to up to a year to complete depending on the taxidermists work load and time for tanning, material ordering, etc. I had to call Mr. Campbell at the 8, 12 and 15 month interval because receiving no updates or progress reports I had no idea when I would be able to pick up my mounts. Each time I called he was rude and told me "just a few more weeks" offering no real information or progress report up to that point or a set completion date. Finally I was forced to give him an absolute no later than completion date that was OVER 16 MONTHS after I had dropped off my deer initially for him to actually buckle down and finish. Now we get to the best part of the story. When I arrived to pick up my mounts after waiting twice as long as I should have to receive them, HE HAD MOUNTED THE DEER IN THE OPPOSITE POSES i HAD REQUESTED!!! Not to mention the workmanship was shotty and the deer look like a mount a teenager could have done. When I pointed out his mistake he responded "Well do you think you could learn to live with it?" Now I am out $900 ($450 per head) and have to find an actual professional taxidermist to fix the mounts and give me a product that I can actually hang proudly in my house. MR. CAMPBELL IS UNPROFESSIONAL IN HIS DEALINGS WITH CUSTOMERS AND HIS PRODUCT ISN'T WORTH HALF WHAT HE CHARGES SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HANDLE YOUR PRIZED TROPHY KEEP SHOPPING AND PICK A REPUTABLE TAXIDERMIST.
