Yep, just got it back from the taxidermist! It is a 25 lb female that I called in and shot this winter with my savage 12FV, using 32 V-Max factory ammo
. Here are some pics of the cat for comparison:

The little V-Max went in behind the left shoulder and did not exit! A perfect specimen for a full body mount. And here is what she looks like now:

It really came out nice. I'm 110% happy with how it looks! Its a day I will never forget. It was my first success at preditor calling! It turned out to be a good week for me, as just a few days later I called in a couple coyotes that my brother put down:

Our cousin had to help hold all the game for the hero shot:

Thats him in the middle and that silly looking guy on the right is me. Man I love this stuff! I'm looking forward to another great season this winter!
