Abert's Squirrel without base

Good. The stuffed squirrel wasn't nearly so appealing. Love his fluffy tail!

I like him free of the base too, but the option may be appealing to others

If someone was doing the gentleman's room box that you mentioned attempting, the base would be just perfect. One of my son's is a hunter and loves to mount things. It kind of creeps me out but it's his hobby and I respect that.
