If New Mexico doesn't ban trapping we have a lot of ringtail cats around. Also I can find one on my coues hunt in Arizona this year we'll look at getting them both done.

What are some lifesize prices, and does anyone have photos of one?
 
There are a few pictures of coatimundi's on the taxidermist site who did my coues deer down in Tucson. They have one ringtail in the pictures.

We have a few ringtails around here(West Texas). The feline leukemia has hammed them lately however. I shot one and it was actually my first taxidermy of any kind back in the early 1990's. I'll have to get a pic for you.
 
If you are looking to trap ringtails try in rocky foothills, the rockier the better. I couldnt keep them out of fox traps when I trapped NM.
 
One of my taxidermists that work for me has mounted several. If you get one/some holler I promise you we can do some amazing stuff with them.
 
Amy Carter out of North Carolina I think, might be best the best at doing small cats.

I have a picture of a running ringtail mount she did that just blew me away!!

I've had ringtail lifesize skin in my freezer waiting for a project for 15 yrs :D
 
I finally took my tanned ringtail out if the freezer where it has sat since 1996 !! :oops:. Surprisingly, it was still in mountable condition, so I decided it was time.

Ringtail cat was my first taxidermy. I'll have to get you a pic. They are rare here now due to feline leukemia wiping them out. They are making a comeback but slowly. The one varmint that we all love to See!
 
Curious, are they true cats or are they like the genets in Africa, not really cats but called cats anyway? I would love to get one someday.
 
They make excellent mounts no matter how they are done-you should definitely try and get one

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
