Cougar taxidermist suggestions

prienn · 02-25-2007, 10:06 AM

I killed a small tom in the fall of 2004, and he's since been skinned, tagged and sleeping in my freezer.

I am ready to get him out of the freezer and hanging on the wall. He measured about 5-1/2' tip of the nose to the tip of the tail.

Who would you recommend/been happy with for a cougar wall hanger?

Thanks

No, when I researched it, I was told not to use salt, as it would slow or prevent freezing/and eventually encourage rot.

The freezer has been set to -3 to -10 F.

There has been two good names posted, but if you were at the Sportsmans show and saw Tim Browns (Natural Instincts) display, then you would look no further. I took my Elk into him because he is the best at replicating the animals position when you last saw it.

PM me if you need his contact number.

So He can shrink them down to tiny itty bitty. LOL DIDn't you shoot that bull at like 900 yards?
