Title: Bobcat mount
Post by: elkslayer069 on December 23, 2010, 07:33:59 PM: Hey guys just sent in my kitty and am having trouble deciding on what to mount him on. Im having it jumping grabbing a grouse. Thanks i appreciate it.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on December 23, 2010, 07:42:28 PM: Full body jump for the Grouse? I want a Bear that's just a shoulder mount reaching out with open jowels and grasping a Grouse.

A full boddied cat leaping off a piece of wood grasping a bird would be SICK.. (in other words, that'd be pretty sweet)

Why thank you. I hope he gets a good taxidermist that knows how to do cats. I had another done and it's horrible.
2 thumbs down is all I can say.

it was his first ever. What a prize for sure.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on December 23, 2010, 09:30:29 PM: I shot that ugly one with my 22-250 @ 10 yards. Turned the cat inside out.

Who is Charlie? and How much did the mount cost you? Looks great. I have a cat in the freezer I am thinking about getting mounted.

Is that the wood used on MuleySnipers cat? If so how do you get it?
Title: Re: Bobcat mount
Post by: MuleySniper on January 31, 2011, 03:36:22 PM: No, I used a chunk of old growth twisted juniper on mine. I sprayed it with about four coats of catalyzed lacquer.

No that is nothing like diamond willow, this is where I would recommend he has some real nice diamond pieces. I have quite a bit but making a bed out of it.

Post by: engelwood on January 31, 2011, 09:18:16 PM: I have my kitty at Charlie's (Charlie's Taxidermy near Chehalis WA) right now and can't wait to get it back. I saw some of his work on this site and took my cat to him for the first thing of mine for him to do. I have subsequently taken him my deer and my brother in laws deer as well. I have confidence that he will make it a work of art! Looking forward to it Charlie!!!

How hard was it to find that juniper you used on your bobie mount MuleySniper? Thats the wood I like or maybe some Cedar since I am on the wet side, that I have on my place free90free. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Bobcat mount
Post by: MuleySniper on February 01, 2011, 10:11:10 PM: I got it from my buddy Luke at Blackwater Fish Replicas. He makes annual trips to eastern OR and gathers/buys it. He let me dig through his pile until I found a piece I wanted. The pic does it no justice. It's awesome. I've since finished up my mount completely. I'll post some better pics of it all done. I just need to take some, I'll try to tomorrow. I'll get some close ups of the wood too. You might want to check out his website or give him a call, he would probably sell you a piece for a reasonable price. He uses a lot of juniper with his fish mounts. Otherwise you might just have to search the www.

Post by: MuleySniper on February 02, 2011, 08:48:01 PM: Thanks. Its too hard to see the drifts in the snow since its so white, but the detail is there. I figure if I get tired of the snow scene someday, I'll just make a new one with different vegetation, but so far I'm still diggin the snow. Leaving for the eastside tomorrow after work for throughout the weekend in hopes of some yotes and a potential feline rug candidate of the same specimen 8)
