Been waiting on this for some time. Lion from dec 5th 2019. Looks awesome. Will have somebody come over to help me hang it tomorrow. Definitely a 2 man job.

Very few taxidermists can do a good job on a cat. I dont know why, but even guys that do top notch work on deer etc generally put out cats that look silly, like cartoons. Pats got a lot of years under his belt and does a great job, but hes officially retiring now. Almost 80 years old. Dont know who to turn to if i want another cat mount.

The mounts look very natural. Definitely great trophies.
