Bobcat examples please

[101521]

I agree with Rick...I had a cat done by a very accomplished taxi out of North Bend and the face is OK...Wildlife artist studio out of Michigan has some great examples but I don't think they take work on anymore. I just shot another and am getting it done as well and honestly I'm hoping for the best.  I will not be using the NB taxi but one out of Ravensdale.  This is a lot bigger cat than my other and its a westside cat so that's why I'm doing it.

How big of cat and how is the hide?

the100Road, posting a shot of a bobcat rug (same one as the website page) nice quality hide on this younger cat.  Open mouth rug is $525 with one year turn normally.  FYI, everyone has different preferences to nose color, this customer wanted his a little on the lighter side, I always try to ask to make sure.  thanks, Duane

thanks for the props dscubame very appreciated.  Duane

Cats are VERY hard to make look good.  You really need to have some skills.

I'm going to hurt some feelings,but there is nobody on this site that I'd pay to do a cat for me.

A deer or elk,yes,a cat no way.

No feelings hurt here     Who would you use?? Id hope it would be Soucey or someone of world champion caliber  and pay the 1800 for a bobcat mount . Cats are by far the hardest to get right.

Nice Job on that Rug Duane !!

not to step on any toes but the next cat i get will be going to bucklucky i promise you that, its damn near impossible to find someone to get the head right on a cat and from what i ahve seen, jack page who owns mineral taxidermist and bucklucky are the only ones who have GOT IT. and page only does heads anymore so that leaves bucklucky in my book..

Here is my rug.  I wanted to lifesize as it was a big cat, but I shot it in the face/throat.  The Taxi did a good job of saving it.

How could you not want Soucy to work on your cat?

 

The guy does incredible work,and the $6000+ price tag for a Cougar mount reflects that.

Even though its dead,this Cougar could just as easily be alive.

dude that cougar looks great, add one more to the list of who has got it right 

[bucklucky]

Thats what Im talking about  Soucey is my idol , hands down about the best out there and obviousely the price reflects world champion quality work!!

Phil doesn't need to be added to the list.  People need to be listed under him.

I think several of the taxis on here could handle a cat just fine. This cat was finished by a Huntwa member, for a good price too!

That picture proves my point. I wouldn't be happy at all with that finished product. But then,I'm not one for having an animal mounted just to say I have one mounted. If I'm paying for a mount it better turn out mighty impressive.

If you like what you paid for,thats all that matters though.

Can't agree more! You need to be happy with what you get!
