    I really want to share Dave's work from Wild Arts Taxidermy in Connecticut.

    Mt. lions are extremely hard to get right and in my opinion, he nailed it.

    He even suggested the pose and mount based on the actual hunt from Idaho. Even though I had different ideas and plans for the Mt. Lion, it was a pleasure deciding together on the final mount.

    If I'm fortunate to take another big game animal, he will get the mount, no question.

    Thanks for checking them out and I highly recommend everyone should do a Mt.Lion hunt if you can, it's an amazing experience.

    Great looking mounts! Cats always looked screwed up when people mount them, but yours looks good!
