It really is a one of a kind piece of Wood! How many blanks did you dig through to run across that one? Really is nice!

Head of a cat, tail of a coon - looks like that critter is the product of a "menagerie a trois". Never saw nothin' like it.

Going to have it stuffed?

A clear case of too much gun. Too bad. A .22LR would have left something suitable for mounting.

You're right of course...on this once in a lifetime occasion of calling in a ringtail, I should have dropped everything, dashed the 27 miles back to town, got my .22 and shot him with just a tiny little hole in his hide.

If it kills it is friendly in my mind. "Fur Friendly" in a 221 Furball may not be so friendly in my 22 Varminter.

I saw a black phase gray squirrel with a red tail one day when I was deer hunting. I could have killed it with my .30-30 but what would have been the point in that ? Just so I could say I once killed a black squirrel with a red tail and maybe take a pic of what was left ? Seems like a waste to me. I went back the next day with a .22 and killed it. It hangs in the living room today.

I heard they were mean, and occasionally set up shop in old deer blinds and make a real pita out of themselves.

Ingwe, that is really a cool trophy. I know some guys who only keep 8 x 10 photos of their trophies. They are a whole lot cheaper and easier to clean than stuffed animals and much more likely to be kept by those who follow us.

I grew up in SA and hunted near Kerville and Hondo with my uncles. Lots of squirrels and bunnies.

We used to get $2.50 a piece for them hides when we was in high school. That was about the time of the First Boer War.

Instead if a head mount, you should do an ass mount.
