cougar mount?

(1/3) > >>

75johndeere:
why are the eyes so hard to get right on the cats i have seen tons of coug mounts and most of the eyes really disappoint me.

PolarBear:
I believe that all predators are tough to get to look right.  It might be because the eyes are on the front of the head and not the side as in prey animals.  You are looking directly at the eyes and can see any flaws immediately.  Prey animals seem to have a little more "fudge" room, IMO.

bucklucky:
Most cougars I have seen mounted are pretty pethetic. there are only a few taxidermists in washington that can mount a nice cat. ;)

I love this guys cats,  especially the aggresive ones.  Both of the taxi's I have used I would not let them do cougars for me.  They both do awesome bobcats though.  I have looked at a lot of taxi's work and am very picky.  Not all guys can do everthing and I think that most will admit it.  Would you agree with me BL?  It is worth the $ and time to find a guy you like.  The guy I use now is a 2 hour drive for me.

I like that guy's cat faces too, very consistent comparatively. His cats all seem fat though. Maybe his clients all shoot well fed cats! :tung: Seriously, he's awesome.

Michelle has my lion, doing a rug. I've got some unfinished pics, the face looks excellent. Especialy for the damage I did to it shooting it in the jaw!!! We were trying to get a closed mouth head form for the rug, because that's more realistic with a Cougar, but none exist. We went open mouth. I can't wait to see it in person!!

 (I can't recommend you until I have it in my hands, Michelle!!!)
