Well I thought it would provide some different mounts and and styles to view......and this thread isnt about taxidermists and I dont want it to turn into that but Phil is as good as they get. Period.

This a 185 pound tom that scored 15 and 3/8. he's mounted on a root wad turned upside down from a weathered blow down. It hangs on a 1/2 lag bolt into a stud. Pick a good taxidermist because there are some real hacks that mess up cats and from what I've seen and been told there the hardest to make look right.
