Sweet score, free life-size mount.

One of my pest control customers had a remodel going on and this mount fell off the wall and jacked its ears up, and a gash on the backside that can't be seen.  I saw it in his garage and didn't see it there before and asked what was up.  He was gonna take it to the dump.  I said heck no I'll take it!  

Dude killed it in Nevada 40 years ago, treed with dogs and got it with a bow.  Dude has probably 100k worth of mounts already and apparently felt it was worth letting go.  

After some super glue and stain pens this dude is gonna go above the TV in the living room!  It was a 130 lb Tom.   Hopefully when I actually finally kill a lion I can reuse the form and base... Hopefully.

Sweet Score Indeed.

heck ya . Good looking mount too. Cats faces are hard to do. Because of the amount of skin in the face. The want to droop and wrinkle. Took me about 100 pins to hold ones face in place until it dried over night. I like the look on that one. . I'm Guessing any where from $3500 to $5000.  New.. If sold

Thanks, hey btw I recommended you to a buddy of mine Mike, you did a coating job for him and he said you did a good job.  I used to do tons of foreclosure work for him he is a good dude.  You may want to ask him if there is any work like that up your way.
