I had intended for one of our local taxidermists to mount this Bobcat, but after emailing him a couple times and not getting a response, I decided to give it a try myself. My wife is not a big fan of mounts, but she took an interest in the cat and insisted on a shoulder mount. I am no stranger to Taxidermy as I have mounted birds for the last 10+ years, but I have NEVER mounted a mammal before. I ordered a How too video for mounting a Life size Bobcat. It didn't look all that hard so ordered a kit with everything I needed. All I can say is that I learned what tools will be on my X-mas list this year to make things easier. I could not get my fleshing knife sharp enough to do what I needed it to do, so did a lot of it with just a razor blade. Overall, I am not dissappointed at all. Made a few mistakes here and there but I learned from them. Next project, the Corssican Ram I have had in the freezer for the past 8 years.
