Let’s see some cougar mounts!
« on: December 01, 2018, 08:32:53 PM »
Please post pics of your cougar mounts, including name of taxidermist.

It looks like I’m going to get the chance to fulfill a life long dream of chasing cats at the end of December.  In the lucky event I bring a good Tom home I plan on getting a life size, full mount done.

I’ve reached out to a few Taxidermist, a few of whom are sponsors / members of Hunt WA.  This will most likely be a once in a lifetime type of hunt  so I’m not about to cut any corners when it comes the taxidermist work. 

Let’s see ‘em and please remember to include Taxidermist name in the event you are happy with the mount and overall experience.  Thanks!

Done by zach at rainier taxidermy many years ago, still looks great. It’s on wheels so it’s easy to move around.
