BOBCATS IN THEM THERE HILLS - Metz Has Big Buck Contest

(11/07/2002)

Calhoun taxidermist Eric Metz killed this bobcat earlier this week near Clendenin in Kanawha County. The Big Root resident who owns E. M. Taxidermy plans to do a mounting with the animal.

Metz, who has 20 years experience in taxidermy, is sponsoring a Big Buck Contest, one for archery and one for rifle. The winners will get a free shoulder mount. The archery contest will be scored by November 24. The rifle contest will be scored by December 8.

Metz can be reached by calling 304-354-6781. His shop is located three miles from Rt. 5 on Big Root Road.
