Yes but the satisfaction of taking that animal yourself and working the hide is not the same.

Where can you buy a prime bobcat for $33 , the price Moyle will tan it for? I can shoot or trap one and get it tanned for that, no way to buy a good one for $33, well maybe a southern bobcat but not a prime western one.
I will say put up takes time and the effort you put in is what you get back on quality of the tanned hide.
