Your opinion on this bobcat mount.

[Txpepper]

This is my cat that is at the taxidermist

Most cat mounts have wonky eyes and faces, if mine turns out like that I'm gonna have to cut my taxi some slack

Lmao!!!! Yea, you might have to cut him some slack!!!

[Txpepper]

Better than some for sure

Either way it will be an improvement over all those glamour shots photos of yourself that you posted all over your living room

Uuuh, you were supposed to keep that to yourself!!!

That's it!! I'm telling everyone about the oil painting above your fire place!! You know, the one of you fighting the bull.......naked.......

I'd say it's very good compared to most! I have done a ton of research lately because I shot a big bobcat this past season. I decided to just get a tanned hide because the chance of getting an acceptable mount were pretty low. This one is much better than most examples I saw.

I like the mounts, but I could never shoot a Bobcat.

I like the mounts, but I could never shoot a Bobcat.

its easy if you try.

[super_dave]

I like the mount myself. It's better than the one on my wall for sure.

Looks like they used too small of a form. Not bad though.

Hell even a limb. But climbing on wood pedestal he looks out of place like he got lost and found himself in a trophy case at the local HS. Kills the whole piece to me.

You guys asked

Coach W..... Love your candor. The wooden pedestal was used to give this piece a more "formal" look and to bring something different to my game room (and to show potential clients options). I have other bobcat mounts with rocks and habitat, including one jumping at a couple of flushing blue quail.
One thing to remember about commercial taxidermy, if the customer likes it, it a good mount. If you dare enter a piece in a taxidermy competition, it better be perfect, based on live animals,..,,,, and the judges interpretation of that live animal.
I have seen bobcat mounts that were given a third place ribbon that were twice as good as most commercial mounts.
If y'all really...REALLY.... want to see top quality taxidermy work, be in Temple on Saturday June 28th. Go to the Hilton Gardens Inn between 10:30 and 2:00 and wonder through the competition room. The Texas Taxidermy Association is having their annual convention and the public can visit at that time.
