hey, I'm kinda new to this but here's my question. I'm sure someone here could give me some insight. I shot a big tom last year and it's salted and in the freezer. one problem, i can't find a taxidermist that can do a lifesize, or least someone that i am satisfied with thier work. money is not a issue , i want a high quality mount. not some ebay looking piece of crap. Someone Help!!!!

I've been to Phil Soucy's shop several times and seen a lot of lions as well as other cats he has done. He's the best I've seen. Here are a couple cats I took pictures of the last time I was in his shop.

Where are you located because I caught a big tom last year and had it mounted in central WV where I live. If you live anywhere close to here I could give you his number. He did an excellent job on mine and his price was very reasonable.
