Title: Mountain Goat Rugs
Post by: Gringo31 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.

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.

Post by: whacker1 on March 31, 2010, 09:25:08 AM: 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.
