Damaged Fee On Racoon

Submitted by Tom on 2/6/06 at 1:05 PM. ( reb09@sbcglobal.net ) 67.65.232.161

I just trapped a coon for mounting. I got him in two legholds. The front left paw is damaged with a couple of toes missing and the back left leg has some trap damage as well. I'm trying to decide whether to mount full body and hide the damaged feet or mount head & shoulder pedestal. Just kind of wondered what others opinions are and what you would do.

You might consider him laying on a limb with leaves placed in a position to hide any small shortcomings. Not a competition mount,of course,but it does offer another option. Jeff F.
