    does it sing?
    I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.

    friend of a friend that does it on the side.

    i've got another guy doing a cat right now. we'll see how it looks.

    this is my first mount, so i don't have a lot of experience, but the buck seems to be a bunch of rough spots in the hide.

    what do you think?
    heh.

    no offense, but unless said "cat" is of the bobcat, cougar, lion, tiger, cheetah, leopard, catamount variety... that's totally ghey.

    Hard to tell from a picture.

    One of the problems with taxidermy is people who cape their animals in the field - and don't know what they're doing. Then, they go to the taxidermist and insist they want their animal's hide. Also, since he's a "friend of a friend" he may not be a really good taxidermist. It looks alright from the pic.

    I usually take my mounts to Hillman's in Yukon. He's not cheap (the last bull elk was $800) but you're gonna get a lifetime mount - that your kids' kids will be proud to own. If your cape isn't a good one, he'll advise you to use another animal's hide.

    Is he doing the whole body mount on the cat?

    i know what you mean. i took great care when field dressing to not cut up very far, which makes for a heck of a time getting out the esophagus, heart, etc., only to have the processor put a couple of holes in the cape.


    yep. the cat will be laying on a limb, mouth open.
    heh.

    yes. bobcat. it's a female which means the markings aren't as cool as a mature male, but i'll take it.

    they are both trophies in my mind. I tried for 3 years and finally was able to connect with my bow.

    i had never deer hunted. i still don't own a deer rifle. i had no idea how difficult bowhunting is.
    heh.

    Yeah, I always crack up when people say "there's no sport in deer hunting, hell I see them all over the place."

    seriously, all you need is a car... and they'll eventually jump in front of it.
