Mountain Goat Rugs
« on: March 29, 2010, 09:53:10 PM »
I saw a few of these in the Dodge dealership in Grandview.  I thought they looked great.  There were a few there and laid out like a bear rug with the hooves  in tact.  If I remember right it had a gray felt with black felt behind it.

Does anyone have any pics of goat rugs?  If not, I'll see if I can get that way in the next month or so and post pics.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

I'll be going in this summer and removing most of those animals for cleaning, debugging, touching up and building new bases for lifesize animals to hang on the walls. The majority of the animals I'm moving to the owners new home and designing his new trophy room. I'll talk to him and find out where the rugs were done at. I've mounted alot of his animals but not those rugs.

I like it a lot, and would make sense if you couldn't afford the full body mount.  I am guessing that it is significantly cheaper than a full body mount.

That is a good looking rug for sure. I prefer that over a full body mount (unless I had the room for 1...)

I was thinking the same thing.  I don't have anywere to put a Mountain Goat, but I can always free up some space on the wall.
