Bobcat Down - How old do you think it is?

[engelwood]

Hey Everyone,

I shot this Bobcat the other day with my Ruger 10/22 - 30 yard shot. I haven't seen many in the woods before, only one other one that I can remember. I know that it isn't small, but I'm wondering if anyone has any idea on how old it is or whether it is decent size or not. I'm getting a full body mount done on it, hopefully with it swiping at a rabbit or a grouse, should be pretty awesome. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

Yeah, I'll get them on my computer and posted in a little bit.

Thats a pretty cat.  Congrats.  Recently just got my first cat I thought it was a pretty big cat but ended up only weighing 19lbs.

Hey, nice cat!  I've never seen one in the woods.  Cool stuff.

2-3 years old, young male?

I agree with Yelp, though maybe more pics would give us more to go on.

Biggest one I ever seen dead was 38 lb female shot a few years back by a friend of mine..that thing was a hog.

Yeah, it is a male. I will post more pics later, they are on another computer.... It's pretty sweet that I had the 10/22 in my hands, I shot it in the head and there wasn't an exit wound, so it is in great condition for the mount.

Cool man! I got my first one this year too. Very cool animals. I'll hopefully be seeing my full mount done soon. I can't wait. Who you gonna have do the mount?

A guy out of Goldendale. How much did your mount run you? What position are you getting it done?

Bucklucky, or Charlies Taxidermy is doing mine. I think he is around $750 for full body. Check back in the taxidermy section at a bobby he finished around a month ago. Its beautiful. Mine will be climbing on this unique juniper branch. When I get it back from him, I'll carve the foam to look like a snow drift. It will be a pedestal mount when its done. I shot it last January. It was a good sized tom around 22lbs with a perfect thick coat.

Here is a link to that one Bucklucky did not that long ago.
