Taxidermy Issue

[Matt8660]

Just wondering if I could get some guidance or advice on how to handle a situation that I have just been aware of. The taxidermy company that I am using for a bunch of different plains game animals has gave me and update with pictures the other day of all the animals they have began mounting. Everything looked good until I seen a picture of the Kudu shoulder mount and realized that isn't my kudu I shot at all. I was so confident because the Kudu I did shoot was very distinctive since it had a wide frame that flared out. I mentioned this to the lady that had sent me the email with the photos and update and attached pictures of my actual Kudu from my hunt to show her the difference. Her response was "My team and I are busy with a full reference report for you regarding your kudu" Now I am not totally sure what that really means and maybe they just made a honest mistake but since being my first time to africa and dealing with this I am concerned and not sure how to respond. Any advice would be great. I don't want to pay to have someone else kudu sent to me.
Thanks

I presume this is the taxidermist your safari operator uses? Time to get him involved. My first taxidermist sent me someone else's blue wildebeest backskin. Obviously a cow and it was shot in the back laying on the ground. Mine was an old bull shot through both shoulders. I complained and they made me a "deal" on the next safari's trophies. Some deal! All of those were messed up!

Looks like the idiots put the horns on the wrong side. Switch them and I think it will look more like what it was on the ground. I think the angle of photo makes the horns look smaller than they really are.
