I trapped this cat last year and decided to have it mounted. I waited patiently for 1 year and it was finally finished. I was so excited to pick it up but then....
 
I'm glad you posted this under: Humorous Jokes, Stories or Pictures. But not glad if this is really your final product. How could they expect you to pay for that with a straight face?
 
I have been sitting here chucking to myself about it. Now I feel bad. May I suggest you not take anything else to this place for taxidermy work?
 
I had the idea to post from a bass boat central thread.
It’s sad for sure. Hope y’all enjoy it!
 
Hahaha I actually a grey fox there but somehow the cape is “ruined” and I’m picking up the base, form and everything else.
 
I think that cat tested positive for corona and now needs a vibrator[emoji56]
Hahahahahahahaha :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
That’s great! He did test positive, nothing could be done:E Shake Head:
 
I’m afraid I would not of paid for that. Sorry you got that kind of a product. What a mess

Thank you for your kind words. I did pay for it although I shouldn’t have. I do not have a quality taxidermist anywhere near me and that’s a huge issue.
 
I would love to have this mount done appropriately. He was a very large bobcat and this doesn’t do the animal justice.

Drew I am so sorry about your cat. Unfortunately most taxidermists are terrible at doing cats. I hope you can trap another one and try again.

Thanks Philip! I’ll be trying again this winter but cats aren’t plentiful in this area.
 
Hahaha I've got the same cat on my wall except it's on a fake rock instead of drift wood. My luck with taxidermists sucks lol . I like my fake rock more than the bobcat mount lol

Hahaha you’re in better shape than me because I hate the mount and base equally!!! Paid extra for the rock/log!:LOL:
 
Hahahahaha he kind of does!

I’m sure he laughed after paid him!

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
