When you have the hide sealed do you take it to the WDFW, or do they send a officer to you? Regulations do not state this on page 66 of regs.

I knew that was comming. I was busy working outside and the daughters goats where freaking out in the pen, reconized the distressed call from them and went to go see what was up. Well I was not expecting a bobcat in the pen, had some yotes on the island in the river before, but had some sign of cats around lately( night time encounters mainly). So I took a look around and spotted him exiting stage left after he saw me, well I caught him doing the same escape a yote did on me from the same area (must be a animal instinct to exit that way) and the .17 hmr does nice on work on a bobie. Now I am just trying to figure out wood for my mount and who is going to do it, my regular taxi is quite expensive for full bobie mounts. Long story short no pics, will post when mounted. With that said, I am 6'4 and when I held the back paws to my chest the front paws drug the ground, he weighed 18.6 pounds. My friend said he was a big male, he has seen and skinned some before.

All you have to do is dail 9-1-1 and tell the operator you need to have the Game Warden call you and it's not an emergency. That's what I did. He'll come to you or meet you.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 01, 2011, 09:33:12 PM »

Both, depends on whats going on. I know a few guys that have taken them to the taxi. Then the warden just stops by out there. Others have had to take the cats and meet them. Then a few guys have just had them come out to there house.

Don't know the area, but by the sounds of it. Its a long drive or a gang zone

Boss .300 winmag · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:03:07 PM »

I think I will choose between one of these two mount styles.

Boss .300 winmag · « **Reply #13 on:** June 29, 2011, 07:09:04 PM »

Got my kitty back from the taxi today, 40.5 " from nose to tail. What do you think.

CAMPMEAT · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2011, 08:00:18 PM »

Corey, 40.5 inches ? Mine are around 30 nose to tail. Are you including the feet ? Anyhow, cool. Are ya gonna do a rug or what ?

bucklucky · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2011, 08:02:39 PM »

Im sure its a 30-32 if it was on the carcass.

Boss .300 winmag · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2011, 08:43:57 PM »

No tail included, front to rear paw is 42 5/8. Taxi had a full mount in pin stage and this hide dwarfed it.

When it was still in the round fresh the back paws went from upper chest to the ground with front paws (Iam 6'4").

bucklucky · « **Reply #18 on:** June 29, 2011, 09:05:31 PM »

Its a 18 pound cat ? Thats a average size cat and would have a body length of 30-32, thats tip of nose to base of tail not paw to paw. If your saying it was 40 inches from tip of nose to base of tail your scale sucked bad ad should have read 40 pounds

What ever dude, my scale sucked, the white bath towel doesn't measure 48", and my tape was custom made to read 40.5 " for 30" bobcats. Just maybe he is not an average bobcat!

And you are a taxidermist.

bucklucky · « **Reply #20 on:** June 29, 2011, 09:50:12 PM »

I dont think you understand what I am saying to you

I was saying if it was truely a 40 inch cat nose to base of tail it weighed alot more than 18 pounds. A 18 poound cat is an average sized cat and will be 30 - 32 on the form. You can over streatch a bobcat skin to get a BIG number but in all realityt if it was an 18 pound cat it will be about 30-32. If your cat was was really 40 on the carcass, Key Word , ON THE CARCASS, it is much bigger than 18.

Actually he has shrunk since he was tanned, about 5". How long have you been a taxidermist?

13 years . Weighed and skinned a ton of Bobcats.

Boss .300 winmag · « **Reply #23 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:22:15 PM »

Well not all gods creatures arre created equal, the tape does not lie, and no the hide was not streched due to the tannery didn't want to tear it (taxi stated this today when picked up today).

bucklucky · « **Reply #24 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:33:30 PM »

Just a second . I have a tannery tanned bobcat that is "streatched" and is way longer than the carcass measurement. It wasactually a 18 pound cat. Let me go measure real quick so you can see what I mean

bucklucky · « **Reply #25 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:39:56 PM »

My 18 pound Tom dry tanned is 39 on the button tip of nose to the base of tail, and is 44 inches to the tip of the tail. That cat is exactly 32 inches on the carcass measurements.

Thats what I was trying to explain.

Boss .300 winmag · « **Reply #26 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:47:50 PM »

Ok your cat grew, and mine shrank. I have seen several cats in my region that are long tall and skinny. You do live in a differnt area.

Elkstuffer · « **Reply #27 on:** June 30, 2011, 09:07:54 AM »

Just don't be pissed off at your taxidermist when your lifesize cat comes back and measures 30" nose to tail. Or it could come back 40" and have the GIRTH of #2 pencil. Charlie right on this one. Sorry.

Woodchuck · « **Reply #28 on:** June 30, 2011, 09:17:13 AM »

I think he is trying to tell you that based on what he has seen compered to your measurements is that the cat you killed is a biggun. Really don't think he is trying to talk yours down
