Lion Skull is Back :)
Stopped by the taxidermist today to settle up on the lion I called in with my girls in February. Still working on the rug mount but the skull was ready to take home!
 Too cool, the girls like it too. I am still excited over this cat, I cannot wait until the rug mount is finished. Here's some pics:    Bobcat for scale

I remember the story.
That skull is impressive, anxious to see the rug. Again I'll say, you are starting them little gals off right in my opinion, you may very well have hunting partners for life. |

The lion was done by my taxidermist and I believe they boil them. The bobcat was done with beetles. Most people say that beetles are the best but it can be done correctly by boiling as well. I'm not an expert but I think the taxidermsit did a good job on the boil.
