Outstanding. I really like the "attitude". Enhances the imagination. Just think what he was like at night and covered in blood from a kill.
Terrific trophy.

Mike,

Congrats. Nice cat. I, too, like the eyes and ears. His whole expression is great.

Hey Mike,
Nice pose and I think it will look great!!

We met in Reno this year....I didn't realize that you got your cat. That would have been even more conversation!

Take Care, Frank

Yes, but I don't think Mike has a snarl in him!

That is going to be a great addition to the collection Mike!

Very nice, Mike!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Hey Mike,

That cat looks a bit better than the last time I saw it.......which was when it was in the skinning shed, when it was covered in salt and flat as a pancake.

Who did the taxidermy?

Hi Mike,

I am very happy for you. The beast looks very dangerous for sure.

He will be a wonderful addition to the collection that you already

have on display. I will have to plan a trip out to see him when all
is completed. wave

OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.}
