Bobcat down.... (Updated back from the tannery 5/11)

Cedar river taxidermy

I concur.  He has a very nicely done one in his shop right now.

He was working on a big cougar last time I was in and we have a nice cougar in our living room he did for us.  He does a great job on the eyes, they look so real.

If we are thinking the same big kitty, I think it's done now.  It was right in the center of the shop 10 days ago.  Full body mount on a ped?

Well just an update:

I called the WDFW today and the officer is going to swing by and tag the hide tomorrow morning and right after that I am heading over to that Peter's Taxidermy to get it tanned. Hoping it turns out well!

I told my mother this week about downing a Bobcat and my dad got on the phone really pumped about it and talked for a half hour+ about how I should mount it and all the tips and tricks of doing it. He used to do museum quality mounts over in the Yakima area long before I was born and got out of hunting before I ever even started shooting... let alone hunting. Since he and I do not do much together I am thinking maybe a man weekend would be a good idea to mount this cat and catch up with him.

We shall see! Thanks again folks for all the help!

I actually saw another bobcat yesterday. Unfortunately it was in the road about 80 yards from our turn off to our hunting area and ran onto private ground. It looked really small though. Good choice on taxidermy you will like it

Alright its off and running at Peter's, both the taxidermist and game warden said I did a pretty good job skinning for a first timer  Said 4 to 6 months to get back from the tanner, time to sit back and enjoy the wait! Getting good at that considering I have a Colt SAA on order.... should be here in the next year or two lol

PS Peter's taxidermy has a really awesome looking display room, good lord! Definitely appears to do great work, all of the mounts looked amazing.

West Coast Taxidermy in Port Angeles is where I took mine.
