Well its been over a year since I killed the big kitty... finally saved enough money to get the parts I needed to get him done ... THIS IS MY CAT THAT I DONE FOR MYSELF :chuckle: GOTTA make sure thats clear :dunno: :chuckle: Believe me this is 16 hours later after endless hours of trying to sew 7ft of cat ... but you can not even tell I sewed him up ...I still have away to go to get it complete so I keep ya updated.. Might be awhile before I make the rock for it .....The 1st coug I ever tried mounting :yeah:
-
:tup: Looks good man! I dont have that kind of patience, attetion to detail, or time. wish I did though.
-
Looks great! Except for the last one :yike: but thats the process ;)
-
:tup: Cool, be proud of it!! But, you should have the pictures in different order, the last pic should be first! :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
-
Nice lion!! :drool:... WTG mounting yourself :tup:

That first attempt is better than many others that have been doing for years. You did a fine job on the head. That being said, I realize that pictures always take away from the real quality of the animal. It's always better in real life. My only recommendation: resoak the eyes while they are wet and reposition. Cougar eyes are the hardest. :tup:

I have scene a few mounts that look like that last picture over the years. :yike:
-
Nice!
-
:chuckle: :chuckle: when I post this cat next time when he is complete you will like it even more...got to realize I just sewed him up and have not fine tuned the details ...yes the right eye is off but now it is perfect .. :rolleyes: I am hurrying to get him done but he needs drying time :tup:
-
I know you aint a giant but how much did that cat tip the scales at? He is one solid cat!!!
-
Great looking mount, really like that relaxed look vs the open mouth, snarling look. Beautiful cat, congratulations!

Carp ..he was a big kitty .... I seriously want to see what a 180 pounder looks like .... this cat was around the 140 or alittle more ...we weighed him after he was dead for a couple days and as most would know they loose alittle body weight once they have been laying in your truck a couple days in freezing weather...He measured 56+ inches nose to butt so I ordered the closest form to it which was 55 inches ...he is right at 7' + nose to tip of tail ....Just wait until I get him on the rock ...that will be any day now :chuckle: the picture does no justice for how he really looks ....

Like I said I know you aint a giant so the cat looks like a monster. I think that cat should have been more then 140 like weight. My buddies kid shot one awhile back that was 143lbs and that cat for sure looks bigger then that. I would have no problem thinking that cat was 170+lbs. He also has a great head on him and does not look like a mid sized cat. He looks bigger then that.

VERY KEWL! :tup:
