Well I'm almost done with school and plan to be making good money this summer... I'd really like to get my '07 ID cougar mounted or rugged...
Never seen any cougar shoulder mounts but I'm interested to know what your opinions of them are and if you have any pictures?
When I shot the cougar, we skinned it out, and laid the hide flesh up on a tarp on a slope to drain the moisture and salted the crap out of it for 2 days. It didn't dry completely but it was pretty close. Then when I got home I brushed the salt off of it, rolled it up and put it in a game bag and stuffed that into a garbage bag and put it in the freezer. It's been in the freezer for a year and a half. The skull hasn't been caped out, and neither have the paws. I never took measurements of the cat but do you guys think a shoulder mount is still doable?
Also, what are typical prices for a shoulder mounted cougar? I don't have the money for a lifesize but I've never been crazy for rugs on cats...
Any advice ya got would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Michael
