Bobcat!
« on: September 05, 2012, 11:25:08 PM »
Hi all,
I just joined this forum. On Monday (Sept 3rd), I got my first bobcat and I took it with my bow! I live in the Tri-Cities but I'm frequently in the Yakima area also. I was wondering who you would suggest to go to, to get my bobcat mounted. I have done a little looking around and as for a budget I'd like it to be less than $900.

I was also wondering if anyone has pictures of their bobcat mounts etc?

Thanks for reading!

Welcome aboard, Pilot! Congrats on your first bobcat.  :tup:

Forewarning: You're about to get about 1,000 posts instructing you to post up pics of your Bobcat.

The first picture shows how bad I messed up the hide, however, you can't tell on my mount, it looks great.  I recommend Ryan Stevenson's Keeping It Real Taxidermy out of Cle Elum, WA.  I don't exactly remember but I think I paid $1000.

Whatever you do, ask to see pictures of the taxi's cat mounts. A taxidermist that does good cat mounts is tough to find.

Nice Kitty cat!
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Contact Bucklucky on here, his cat mounts look real good, it is all about the face/eye's.
The face will make the mount, trust me on this.....
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
