Great looking mount Doc. I assume you meant .300 RUM? How long did it take to get your mount back? Good hunting, LDK

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

oops, yes, I meant 300, will edit. Actually, it took about 14 months. Would have been less but taxidermist had to finish about 14 full body mountain lions and a few bears.

Trying the slide show just for fun:

Doc, What a great mount... attention to the details is so evident. I love that acorn on his left side, what character.

Doc,
I'd say it was worth the wait. The guy did a great job. Nice deer too.

Thanks. The neat thing about this particular guy is he won several awards with some of his own sculpted mammals, including deer at several shows. What he did was take the actual meat and skull and made molds of his own, then fabricated the manikin from the real animal's anatomy.

He said when you looked at the finished manikin, it was not very eye appealing like the ones you see in catalogs but the judges sure liked the finished mounts.
