Cougar Taxidermist
« on: November 02, 2021, 05:00:25 PM »
I just shot my first cougar last week. I’ve been looking for a taxidermist that does consistently good work cats. I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about Philip Soucy and think he does amazing work, I’m just weighing out my options and was wondering if anyone had any input. Thanks in advance!

I also can't help with a cat taxi.

That looks like a monster cat!

Soucy is the best in the world. If you're looking for a perfect t mount that will still look alive in 20 years, then I'd pay his price. There are a few others around these days that do great cats as well if saving a little money is more of a priority. :twocents:

Phil Soucy is "The Cat Man" but if booked to far out, his Brother-in-Law Dean Haun, is great as well. They are very meticulous in their work and it's shows!! If I had a Cat to be mounted they would be my only choices! Look and compare to anyone.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Dont even mess around with that cat, send it to Soucy.  Never seen a cat come close to his.

The only 2 taxidermists that I would trust with a cat is Soucy or Michael at Nature’s way in Spanaway.

So are you 5 foot tall or is that a huge cat?   How much did it weigh??   Can’t wait to see it all taxi’d up.  Gorgeous cat..congrats.

Thank you everyone! I think I’m going to get ahold of Soucy. It’s about an 8 hour drive from me but it seems worth it with what everyone’s saying. From what I’ve seen in pictures he does do amazing work on cats. Buy once cry once!
