[Donny Bear]

$4200.00 for the Cat and a nice base,$4850.00 all in for the Cat and base I wanted I told him exactly what I wanted and he did an awsome job. even has a water hole in it dont know how he made the water look so awsome wish you could see that too!

Am I allowed to say the name of the taxidermist on this forum?

Very, very nice mount - that's not a lot of money for a piece like that.

You have that right sir I think the price was very fair for sure!

[Doe]

That is a bitchin mount!!!! Great to see the good work posted, not just the bad ones.....and I believe many would love to know who is responsible for that spectacular work of art. Ten outta ten buddy!!!!

[BlacktailStalker]

Yes you can say who did it.
Mind posting the pics and story from the hunt ?

[chilcotin hillbilly]

Great cat, and a good job by the taxi. What did he wiegh and what did he score. Do you run hounds or was this a guided hunt? Looks great. Congrats.

Well I'm kinda tubby so the story is short or I would be dead! The chase lasted 3 hours and that was mostly due to my lack of conditioning. We were in the Pass (Crows Nest) and the terain was steep in short. We caught up to this bad boy and after deciding he was a good Tom I made the shot. It was to much to get him out of the ravine whole so I will never know the weight I can say that he made 2 170 lb Toms look small if that is in fact what they weighed. He Scores 15&1 and is confirmed for the book. It was an awsome hunt I remember sitting down taking some Asprin and Water and asking the good Lord to give me the ability to get up out of the box and slap the first person that said I died doing what I loved :mrgreen:

The work was by Sugar Creek Taxidermy you can google it I don't know the link, I am very pleased he will be doing my Son's 2009 Bison and also my sons 80+ inch Antelope so I guess I must be happy.

It is going in my basement so I can watch wild TV and stare at him in the evenings.

That is a beautiful mount. Looks like he was a scraper with the scar above the right eye. Love to see pics of the hunt, did you have hounds with you ?

[leadpillproductions]

wow thats not cheap nice lookin mount

[bayou]

Congrats on a nice cat and mount.

[The Hermit]

Oh man that is SO nice! I really really want a cat! As much as I'd love to I don't think I could afford to get one mounted like that ... the wife would take at least half of everything and at least one of my testicles!

[ramron]

Beautiful mount, looks alive.

[Clint_S]

That is a beauty mount for sure.

[pappy]

very nice,the work is quality. It should last a life time and more. always a good memory to look at.

[Deadshot]

Great looking mount!
Definitely worth the loot.
Too many cat mounts look "baked".

[steepNdeep]

That's a great cat and awesome mount! How many and what type of dogs do you own?

[bruin]

Holy sh!t that's an awesome mount. It can be hard to find a taxi that does good work on cat's faces but yours certainly did. Wow!

[yiorgo3]

cool mount thanks for sharing!!

[Springer]

I was lucky enough to see Donny's Cat up close at Sugar Creek just before he took it home. Marco does amazing work hey!
That will be a tough one to beat especially making the book.

[Rattler]

Wow, that is a great mount. Makes me want to go cat hunting....

[whitetailsheds]

Am I allowed to say the name of the taxidermist on this forum?

That's a chuckle....said it over on AO Donny...great cat and awesome mount! Good job Marco!

[born2hunt]

that is an incredible mount so life like i need to know who mounted it and what was the price , not that it matters cuz thats a bitchin mount:)

[hunter1947]

[sawmill]

WOW!!!! love it,damn nice work!:mrgreen:

[KodiakHntr]

Cranker cat, for sure...

[Mugger]

Will the mount sit up on the wall as a corner mount? Trying to figure it out.

[Caveman]

Oh My!!!!!!! Very Cool!

[Donny Bear]

:mrgreen:

Its just a flush wall mount in the pictures it is on a stand. At home just two hangers for it.

As for the hounds they are a friends Plotts we used 3 for the hunt.


Thanks for the feed back, I don't want to sound boastful but I have seen so many brutal cats that, well I can't explain the relief when I saw it actually it was beyond relief I could not even speak I felt like I was watching him in the tree all over again. I am proud of the mount and beyond happy with the product for the dollar!

Thanks everyone for reafirming my satisfaction

[interceptor]

Wow,

That is awesome, a great cat and an incredible job on the mount.

I want one.

Cheers Noel

[Th0r]

That is super! Lucky you!

[000buck]

I tip my hat to you that is an awesome cat and to spend that kind of dough to honor him in that way ....exceptional.....

[BigBanger]

I like it .

[Donny Bear]

Congrats on a nice cat and mount.
I think the price was very reasonable considering I have seen work in the same range that would leave me in tears Marco puts his heart soul and countless hours into his work.

Thanks I think that when you take an animals life you need to honor that animal if that means caring well for the meat from a spike buck or mounting a monarch they deserve respect and care.

[Ltbullken]

That is a huge cat. Nice mount!!

[jrjonesy]

:mrgreen:

I know what you mean. I've seen lots of bad cat mounts (and some good ones). That to me would rate as a really good one.

[blueboy]

that,s a great mount and awesome cat all i can say is WOW

[Jetboat]

Awesome cat, congrats!! And that mount is absolutely fantastic!

[Fisher-Dude]

Congrats on a terrific cat and a great mount!
