I hope he got that mount for free or at least a great deal. I have never seen a mountain lion dressed up like a clown before. I love the bozzo nose[laugh][sly]

I like the mount and all. I am not opposed to the head and face. Its all a matter if you like the fierce open mouthed aggresive look all the time. I can take it both ways. However alot of folks get intimidated when they see the aggresive mount like that.

Looks good to me. I would think that the picture might not do it justice. I would bet that it looks better in person than the photo lets us think

Ok guys, I have got to come clean here.[sly]

This post was supposed to be a joke! I just wanted to see what repsonses this would get. I think I laughed all day today when i saw this pic [laugh] I really have no idea who owns the mount or anything.

Kinda funny that you guys actually thought it was a good looking mount [laugh][laugh][laugh] Maybe you guys were just being nice[laugh]

Anywho, that's the real story. [cool]

I feel sorry for you... if you have a mount that looks anything close to what "HookJaw_Brimhall" posted, and you think it looks good. I have seen my fair share of "pussy cats" and I could tell the picture was a joke right away, and was playing along. it might be a good mount that has been played with on photoshop, or it may just be bad work, I dunno. Next time you need a mount done let me know...I have never tried taxidermy but I am sure I could get close to what that cat looked like, and I'll give ya a great deal.[]

Well................... I have to admit that it looks like what you guys all say it does. But in defense of BB3333, Unless your looking at this thing in person right infront of your eyes, Pictures can be somewhat un forgiving. I have seen other mounts with the ears pinned back on them like that. Its just what all a guy likes. I think from the photo used on the site, It didnt look that bad. I would not do a mount any where close to that. but once again, just my opinion. And yes, I have seen poor taxi work before many times and seen top notch work.

No worries....it was all in good fun [] and your right it is a matter of opinion...I wouldn't have said what I did in my first post, if I wasn't sure H_B was joking...I wouldn't want someone to trash a mount I just had done. I am sure BB33333 was just looking out for H_B and thought I was trashing the mount...which I did, but joking....Again all in fun...No worries.

Way to go Hookjaw...you stired the pot on that one!

Thanks for that comment, that was really mature.

FYI my fish was not done by a taxidermist it was hand carved out of a single piece of wood, every detail of the fish except for these eyes is wooden. It took the guy six months to carve it and every scale was imprinted by hand into the wood.
Maybe it doesn't look as good as a mounted fish would have and maybe the detail is a little off, but GOOD HELL!!!! IT'S WOOD!

My mount is one of a kind, I have always loved wood work and I'm extremely happy the way that it turned out.
That was really stupid to attack me out of nowhere like that, you just lost a lot of respect form me buddy.
