I know that this is not the taxidermy section but I thought this apply's as big game too! - I got my cat back from the taxidermy and mounted him on this dead juniper snag I found.
wow that's super nice!!! what's the story behind him???

Bugs in the stump? What like termites? We cleaned alot of the rotton stuff out of the inside and did not see any bugs of any sort. The log is pretty much hollow except for the back half.
I got that cat while turkey hunting in Oregon. We had an unsuccesfull morning hunt for turkey and while driving back we saw the cat cross the road. I had my 30-06 in the truck and grabbed it and pursued him and found him in a tree. It was the last thing I expected to see while hunting gobblers!
