is he worthy of a mount? If so, what can I expect to pay? Any suggestions on a taxidermist in the West Feliciana/Baton Rouge area?

Why sure you could have him mounted!! I've shot a few over the years, and the are no doubt cool to look at.We always called them ''Blazed Faced'' but the are actually called, Bachman's Fox Squirrel. Get you a piece of cypress drift wood and clean it up ,they really look nice and would make your squirrel look awesome.I think the going rate is $75-$125, but not 100% on that. Congrats on the kill..

Nice

I hadn't seen a Bachman since I was a kid hunting in Tangy parish in the 70's. But then I don't work the squirrels that hard anymore. I mounted one back then but it was a amateur/bad mount and ended up in the trash.

I would mount it, especially if you have a place to display it.

And post some better pics.

What th' hell IS that....some kind of FrankenSquirrel? Never seen one like that.

I'd normally say having a squirrel mounted is a waste of time and money, but that's pretty unique. I'd do it.

I shot one like that by Bayou Sara/Solitude a couple decades ago. Cool looking squirrel. I wish I had mounted that one cause I've never seen another one.

That looks like one of them Rodents of Unusual Size. Did you bag him in the Fire Swamp?

I've never laid eyes on a Bachman's up here in the NW corner of the state. Jealous. Would love to kill a squirrel that big.

pardon my ignorance, but is that a regular fox squirrel, or a variation of a fox squirrel?
