My Mountain Lion is almost done....

What you guys think about the mount don't hold back on me now

So real. So lifelike.

A steal at any price, really.

Wow, what a trophy Tell us about the hunt, had to be exciting stalking the dumpsters

From the pics I have seen of your other mounts, that might just be the finest of the bunch.

I don't see a mountain lion in your photo

Looks like about 30% of the taxidermy work I have seen.

I think he nailed the eyes....

Sad...but I'm sure the taxi has done the best he could with what he had to work with...

Very natural pose. Love the life like eyes.

I need that for my man cave

Sorry it is NOT for sale

Mounting road kill are we!

Looks like the same SOB that did my Fox a few years ago

Thank God I met my guy now

Other than that looks awesome

I think you're right. Get the eyes right and the rest will follow.

The neck is a little thin but other than that it looks great!

Did East do this for you?

Why no he did not....my taxi wanted to remain anonymous for some reason....

What in the world did you you shoot that cat with? It's obvious your taxi is having issues dealing with the damage!

Love how they captured that east Texas caught in the spotlight look.

A .223

Amazing!

are you sure its a mount? looks like its still alive

did you borrow the jaws for the mount from a blacktip shark?

He looks so pissed, love the pose ! Local taxidermist ?.........

Trust me he is dead and stuffed

That .223 packs a punch and knocked his teeth out...thus the need for the cotton feed sack string repair

My taxi want to remain anonymous....he works out the back of his pickup...lifted pickup at that

"Good" work!!!

Almost.. not yet...almost...

He looks like he had my wifes cooking.

Looks like a pit bull

I'll call it "Frankenlion".

Now come on guys, I said he was almost done...

Wasn't cammo wrapped by any chance was it?

No, but he keeps 2 pit bulls chained in the back of it.

So that's what a Mt. Lion looks like!
I've seen brief glimpses of some critters that I thought may have been a mt. lion but I know now what I saw definitely was not one of those.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

A mount that beautiful needs a name!

Looks like a lion-chupa cross. Good detail on it though.

The cat's expression says it all.

The guy just has a way with the face on his cat mounts I tell you....

Wow - He looks like he could really take right turns @ full speed

Have you thought about entering that lovely piece into a taxidermy contest?

I'd call you chances "strong to quite strong".

Looks like he had a fever.

Beautiful work. I especially like what he did with the paws, very realistic. And that death stare...shakes you right down to the core.

Must have shot it in your younger years and that is museum quality from the 1700s.

Wow

Stubby little guy, before the taxi finishes it up. I suggest he search the internet for pics of what a Mountain lion looks like. Just seems a "little off base"

He skinned the cat out himself for a lifesize mount. He knew what the actual cat looked like then so I told him to mount it just like it looked. I guess that is how he looked when he skinned him

A .223 that was used to hit the claymore.

I must say... Your taxi did one hell of a job piecing him back together and bringing out his natural life like look

Nice work and undoubtedly one of a kind.

I'll send you some old newspaper if you run out of stuffing material.

Thanks but my taxi just travels the roads around cotton gins to pick up all his stuffing for free the best I could tell....

Ok I thought maybe you used a 22.250,everyone knows how devastating they are

Lol

That's legit.

Looks like he was hit by a truck.

Your taxi likes you. I can tell he spent the better part of an afternoon on it.

Ooooookkkkk

Can you share his contact information? When my favorite pet dies, I'd like to use him.

legitttt

one the funniest threads on the forum

stx thanks for the fun on this one. still rofl with all these hilarious responses

Man.....I opened this thread at the same time I took a drink of my basil Hayden.bourbon.....it all came out my nose.......you owe me some whiskey

I personally would have gone with suction cup paws so you could pose it how you like on the back window of your truck.

Going with velcro on his paws so I can stick him to my tool box on my truck

Now I see why you went with the "wind blown, slow the **** down" pose. Taxi is top notch to fill that request.

Gonna give the cat the "deer in the headlights" eyes also

I can see that, in a pet cemetery kinda way.

Well it is Bubba's Veterinary and Taxidermy Shop...his motto is "either way you get your dog back"

Never seen a double club footed Mountain Lion....... no wonder he was shot

I had never seen a mountain lion either, that is why he was shot and now stuffed.

If you've got change for $1 I'd but it from ya

Sorry but a once in a lifetime animal mounted like this is..... well....priceless

I can't say anything, thats usually how I look opening morning...

Shot at and missed, sh** at and hit!!!

What a great way to remember your beloved pet.

So life like. Its amazing how you were able to capture that moment and make it look so real

at least you got it back from the taxi...

would look really natural in an aquarium.
