Cool Bobcat mount #5442035 07/21/11 Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 1,696 Southest Alabama R RugerM77270 OP Campfire Regular OP RugerM77270 Campfire Regular R Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 1,696 Southest Alabama I saw this in my friend storage yesterday and thought that you folks might enjoy it. My friend shot the bobcat and told the Taxi to give him something exciting and this is what he came up with. The shed on this thing is huge. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better. True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth. If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

That one however, I wouldn't mind seeing it set up in my house.

It takes a good taxi to make a cat look real. This one isn't 100% but its in the top of the ones I have seen. Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.

Cat and birds. I did taxidermy and mine was far from perfect too, but this just doesn't look good at all to me. And the nose color is way off. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Nice. Smooth. Round. Correct nose. Correct colors.... I'd think that one could net a ribbon..... Oh duh... a live cat.. grins... but its ear butts are not identically located...

Unfortunately he isn't a commercial taxidermist. He sells his mounts on ebay. Once in a while he may undertake a commercial piece if he takes a fancy to a truly remarkable specimen.

I have never seen a mounted bobcat that didn't look goofy. And, I reckon I've seen about 20. These pics are truly a cut above.

I've got a Bobcat and a freakin huge Fox Squirrel at my taxidermist. All tanned, just waiting for me to deside on how to mount. I'm emailing him a couple of these "branch" photos and we'll go from there. Thanks
