Lifesize Bobcat Mount (Charlies Taxidermy)
« on: July 29, 2009, 10:09:13 AM »
Well, I havent posted any pictures of bobcat mounts yet so here is one for ya. It is a Spokane Bobcat. I like the color of those cats better than what we get on the west side for the most part.

That is a great looking mount, having taken a few bobcats and having some very poor mounts done (hate it when they look crosseye'd) and holding off taking anymore because i did not have another taxi to mount them i have found my next taxi in you Bucklucky..  The face is very well done....

The cat looks like its alive!!!  Men, awesome job!  That's absolutely beautiful.  How much does a full mount like this cost? If I may ask.

Thanks guys and gal for the compliments.

 Lifesize bobcat is going to start at $750.00 and goes up from there depending on habitat, alterations, base, open mouth etc... That mount pictured is the base price mount. Thanks for asking!

I don't know much about the details to look for in a mount, but my overall impression is that looks as lifelike as a dead animal can be.   :tup:

I've yet to see one on the eastside.  The couple I've seen on the west side seemed a little bit darker than that one.  Very fine looking cat, nice work.

Kuddo's to you!! This is one of very few cats mount's that has actually captured the animation of a cats face!!! Most of the mount's look like a cocanie deal gone bad!  I;m not sure how many cats I ever see full open mouth alive but thats the mount. I will keep you in mind this fall. But just where is skookumchuck?

I see so very few cat mounts of any kind (Bob, Cougar, Leopard, Lion) that look good.  One in ten maybe.  Most of them look goofy with odd facial expressions. 

That cat is GREAT!  If I bump into a Bob I know where I'm taking it!

Bucklucky, that mount is fantastic.  I've studied bobcats in the field and on the wall for years, and realize the extreme difficulty in not making the cat look a "freak".  As far as I'm concerned, Phil Soucy is one of the only people I would ever be completely happy with to do any cat that I would have to look at for the rest of my life.  Unfortunatly, his price isn't in my ballpark.  You will be getting a PM.
