Jessica Stevens could do that


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Wrong Hereford, that is Dennis. Tracy's number is 256-420-4588. He has a couple bobcats in his shop now so you can see the kind of work he does.

Whoops, I got Tracy's # I just thought I'd post the site, didn't know it was a different one. Dropped my buck off Sunday around 11, he has some nice deer there so far this season. You seen the otter he trapped an mounted, real nice. Here is my buck head there dropping it off, getting it done semi sneak.



I got a deer at Tracy's too, this is my first time to use him but his work does look really good and that otter looks awesome. Someone else I have seen do good work on cats is Bill Young in Huntsville.

Just because someone can do a fantastic job on a deer, skwerl, fox, coyote, or mouse doesn't mean their cats look good.

LOOK AT ONE THE GUY HAS MOUNTED BEFORE YOU TURN IT LOOSE WITH THEM.


AMEN!! HALLELUJAH!!!!

I agree with the guys saying Tracy Hereford. I take all my deer to him and he did an excellent job with my big buck last year. He has some pretty cool bobcat mounts in his shop. I got a buddy to send me a picture of the bobcat mount that Tracy did for him last year and in my opinion it is one of the best/most unique I have seen.

Here it is:










Here is Tracy's info:

Thanks for all of the replies. I already have one mounted that looks ok but I am looking for something the quality of the first one skullworks posted. The one I have mounted is pretty small but this is a 35 pound cat and I want it done right if I decide to do it. Skull, where did you find that image?

That guy does the best cats I've ever seen. Here you go. And as an aside, awards don't mean anything to me. A taxidermist could take all the time they want on one specific mount to make it competition ready...I want my taxidermist to do the same caliber work on a spike as they would a state record animal that everyone will see. I've seen some hot garbage come from some taxidermists that have won awards (not speaking specifically on ANY of the taxidermist mentioned in this thread).

Skullys cat was done by Wayne Miller, aka "wildlife artist" who IMO is probably one of the best in the world when it comes to cats. I have one of his cats and it's one of my most prized possessions. Last I heard, he was accepting very little commercial work.

http://www.wildlifeartiststudio.com/index.html

There are others out there who does similar work. I'm a big fan of Mo. Taxi Cole Cruickshank who owns Timberland Taxidermy. His cats start at around $700 and are well worth the cost.
