I will try to post a few others I have mounted later.

splat,I'd say you got it down on cats and for your first to come out so nice,amazing! One of the first things I see when I look at a cat mount is the head and eyes.I've seen them done by taxidermist that have been at it for a while and they don't look as good as yours.You've got that face down good.

Luck is where preparation meets opportunity

I am only mounting for myself at this time. I'm still practicing until i feel ready to mount up someone's prize.

Got this guy while deer hunting and mounted it up. I learned not to use a 308 to shoot a bobcat or all you'll have left to mount is the head. Attachments:

I like the "head and shoulders" mount better than the full size.
