[bmw_hockey]

[GreatWhitePopogeebo]

[BCHunterTV]

who did the mount?

[smoke-eater]

Sorry dude, but that is ugly! The face doesn't look right at all....

[David Heitsman]

Unusual base. What's the reasoning behind the particular type of wood it's made from?

[BillBraskii]

Sorry dude, but that is ugly! The face doesn't look right at all....

x10!!!
who did that mount??

looks terrible.

[kuiu]

x10!!!

looks terrible.

I have to agree, not very good at all. Cats are probably one of the toughest animals to get right, and yours is way off the mark. Has a cartoony look to it.

I take it that you don't think its right either?????? Why else would you ask what people think.

[Tenacious Billy]

Need to see some closer photos, but it looks like he's got bucked teeth or an over-bite.

[deadownwind]

I wish for your sake it turned out better. My initial reaction was "Well that just doesn't seem right" I really wish I could give you positive feedback, but i just don't like it at all. I have a funny feeling you feel the same way...

[The Dawg]

I hope he's trolling for comments and trying to have fun.

Why not post a larger frontal pic?

[buckhunter]

it is different! would make a great conversation piece for sure. but it don't look natural!

[deadownwind]

I hope he's trolling for comments and trying to have fun.

Why not post a larger frontal pic?

I think he's having issues uploading them. I'm looking forward to seeing a frontal pic as well

[bmw_hockey]

how can I upload the pics???
thanks

[BCHunterTV]

Same way you uploaded the first picture....

[BCHunterTV]

If in fact he really had this cat mounted I'd really like to know who did it....
x10!!!
who did that mount??

looks terrible.

[BlacktailStalker]

I would have left that one in the tree and hunted further away from Chernobyl.

[bmw_hockey]

yes I had the Cat mounted, just got it back last week,
It was a spot and stalk, not treed,

I was talking to the Taxidermist about what facial pose, I personally am not a fan of the complete open mouth where you can see fake toungue etc, and I did not want exactly closed mouth, so he suggested partial open, so I can see the teeth,

I think maybe the ears are a little too low, my wife says it looks cross-eyed,

I dont want to say who it is, I feel it is putting him under the bus if that is how many here feel.

I think it looks a bit better in person, maybe the flash is too much....

the reson I was asking is I also have a lynx that I Spot and Stalked and have not yet started the work yet,

any help In uploading pics please, I cant seem to delete the files I selected in the upload manager here on HBC

[BCHunterTV]

Who mounted it????

[shed-hunter1]

i would want my money back sorry man but the face is not good

[guest]

I don't know how the thing ever got to eat, seeing cross eyed double how did it ever catch any thing ..hahahahahah

Sure hope it was a free-be

[kuiu]

Please let us know who mounted your cat. You may save a lot of headache for the next guy.

And be smart, don't get your lynx done by him.......

Oh, and no camrea flash can make a cats face look that bad!

[Livewire322]

Nice mount, then again I can't see it very well the pic seems to disappear on my phone..

[SHAKER]

Wow! I guess thats about all I can say. If your happy then great! but.......... I'd boot the guy in the bag.

[treeclimber]

You should do his lynx shaker, show em how there supposed to look

[springpin]

Ya, to bad about the face...looks a little goofy.

It's to bad.

[toddrat]

My mom always told me that if i had nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all but you asked and I have to say, Im with this guy. Go shoot another one and get it mounted but on all fours but minus the "getting my diploma" pose. Also looks like a floor lamp.
Sorry dude, but that is ugly! The face doesn't look right at all....

[toddrat]

OMG I am fricking killing myself laughing!!!!

[moose2]

Here they are They do look a bit better with the bigger pictures , but still a bit off. Although if you type in bobcat taxidermy on google images many of them look off. They must be a hard mount to do.

thanks moose2

[pnbrock]

did this cat have down syndrome if so very life like.

[BiG Boar]

http://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/data/500/bobcat4.jpg[/QUOTE]

It sort of looks puzzled, as if to say...Am I a vampire, or a kitty? Or am I a pirate, with one eye closed slightly and looking bigger than the other. And what happened to my other whiskers, did someone shoot them off? All I know is I am definitely purrrrrturbed.

Please tell us who did it. I have my bobcat skin with a taxidermist right now, and if its the same person, I would love to get it back before they start on it.

[1/2 slam]

Who did the mount?

[BCHunterTV]

i agree.. I too have a bobcat coming back but I trust in Ray's work.

I've seen worse. Yours is a little off, but it's not terrible.
I hope you didn't pay a lot for it though.

Here is your cat.....

That rug from the side view has great eyes,

[lovemywinchester]

I don't see a problem with that cat at all! It looks fine to me.

[Mr. Dean]

Hopefully you understood going in, what the outcome *could be*.
Maybe you were just trying to save some $$$.

Either way, it's off in left field playing a game checkers instead of baseball.


The eyes aren't set/focused properly.
The jaw seems to have twist, as does the snout.
Teeth don't seem to be placed correctly.

There's more but the above stated is more than enough......


Pending on what your deal was with the TaxiMan, I'd wanna full re-do. If you knew it was an experiment and the price reflected the outcome, it's a nice conversation piece! :wink:

[darrin6109]

could have saved yourself a bunch of money and had it done at "Build a Bear" like i did.

I seriously hope that you found those pics somewhere on the web and are having a good laugh with this one:???:...as we have done on here in the past.

As someone else said..... I've seen worse... but not by much.

That's one classic kitty!!:lol:

I hope you're right as he does not seem to want to tell us who did the mount

[houndsman]

Even the rug is not right .my pet pev is taxidermists that do mouth oper in a snarl with the ears up .have you ever seen eney wild animal baring its teeth with its ears up.

[bmw_hockey]

is it possible for the Taxidermist to fix it????

[Ghillie]

If you don't mind it the way it is, I wouldnt worry, and anyone who hasn't ever seen a bobcat up close might not know theres anything wrong with it. If you dont like it, look into a redo, don't let anyone else make up your mind.

[Barracuda]

Even the rug is not right .my pet pev is taxidermists that do mouth oper in a snarl with the ears up .have you ever seen eney wild animal baring its teeth with its ears up.

actually the ears are back on the rug. ive seen ears back and pissed off/ volcalizing and i have seen ears pinned back/flattened and really pissed off bareing.

personally i like ears back mouth open ,

[Crys Shorty]

With the new supplies available to taxidermists even bobcats are a no brainer,...http://www.mckenziesp.com/Assets/ProductImages/BC-8600.jpg (hope the pic works...)

[Alpine85]

You could probably fix it with a claw hammer or an axe.

[yamadirt 426]

i dont think he should tell. If its a guys first or even second mount its prob better than half the guys here on there first try lol

[nolan-sawka]

the muzzles twisted a bit i think thats what throws it off

[Tenacious Billy]

i dont think he should tell. If its a guys first or even second mount its prob better than half the guys here on there first try lol

You might be right - it probably is better than what most guys on this site could produce. But chances are he paid for and expected to receive a professionally done mount - which that thing clearly is NOT.

Take it back to whoever did it and figure out some sort of solution.

[1/2 slam]

is it possible for the Taxidermist to fix it????

A competent taxidermist like Frank Gilbert of Fur and Feathers in Surrey might be able to fix it. I've seen a 2 remounts he's done of Ganders work and they were night and day above what was brought in. Oh and Frank would not tell me who did the original work. But the owners od the mounts did.

[srupp]

I have 2 Cali sheep...one is one of the best I have seen....the other one of the worst..the worst was my first ram...and at the time I was so thrilled with getting a good ram I didnt realize how bad the taxi job was and didnt have the experience with seeing many taxiddermist mounts...I could have gotten it redone but it shows bad taxi work is out there and guys do accept bad work..I now know better I hope...

[BiG Boar]

A competent taxidermist like....


I can tell you who not to send it to in a PM unless you want your cat looking like this guy.

http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv191/huntingbc/closeup.jpg

What sort of a duck is that anyways?

[BCHunterTV]

when deciding what taxidermist i was going to use for a couple Cats i shot i was cautioned not to use Ganders for Cats, Ray Weins does great cats! he's doing my big Bobcat right now, i pick up in 2 weeks! ill post pictures when i get it back

You are saying Harley is not good with sheep mounts???? Ive seen a couple of his and think they are pretty good.

[BlacktailStalker]

He means those two taxidermists he feels specializes in those species.

[hunter1947]

Leave all the bad comments aside you have this mount maybe its not the best looking mount ??? that some have said but who cares its your mount and you have to look at it and if your happy with it thats all that matters..

[MFERGIE]

Lets break this one down because we don't know who did the mount for you! Nobody wants to say it looks like crap but it does...A Taxidermist's job should be the best possible reflection of that animal in a natural state and setting. When you harvest the animal snap pictures galore...give a few to the taxidermist to work with! If your Bobcat was done by a newly practicing taxidermist and you got a steal on it, or experiment deal or whatever you should still point out to them that the mount is far from realistic! If the mount was done by one of the larger companies "some of which farm out their work to randoms..." than I would take it back and explain to them that the job was a botch! My dog wouldn't chase that tail!!

[Marc]

What sort of a duck is that anyways?

It used to be a huge 3 full curl mallard

[srupp]

actually it is US that are the experts...we have spent our entire adult lives amongs the birds and big game..and know what the should look like some office guy from Vancouver that only see's big game in the zoo once in his life is not going to know what they look like in detail.We should speak out when the workmanship/artistry is well below acceptable..

I have no problem admiting on of my sheep mounts is SHIT...didnt fool me a second time...Marco and Harley are ARTISTS..

cheers

[shoot to kill]

It looks like that terrible one that was on here before a few months ago. If you look at the posters previous posts I think he even mentions the same alleged outfit.

[BillBraskii]

Agreed,
It looks like a High Calibre job to me.....
It's sad to see such a nice animal turned into that.

[BiG Boar]

I dont want to say who it is, I feel it is putting him under the bus if that is how many here feel.





Re: Can I give a bear hide away head paws and all

call jaime reynolds at high calibre taxidermy in chilliwack/agassiz he will buy if colour bear or one that is at least 6 ft.

You didn't say it was this guy. I am just quoting you on another thread all together, about a taxidermist you are associated with.

Now that we still don't know who it is. What is he willing to do about it? Maybe you can save him from the rear set of wheels of that bus.

[d6dan]

Check these mounts out Big Bore. look closely at the ears.. If in fact this guy did his mount, I can see the resemblance.:?.

Low Caliber should be the name

[yamadirt 426]

Well this thread went from a guy showing a poor mount to throwing a company name under the bus which is unrelated to the mount. Some clownage happening here that is for sure.
