Bobcat mount finally finished!
Bobcat mount finally finished!
Yep, just got it back from the taxidermist! It is a 25 lb female that I called in and shot this winter with my savage 12FV, using 32 V-Max factory ammo . Here are some pics of the cat for comparison:
The little V-Max went in behind the left shoulder and did not exit! A perfect specimen for a full body mount. And here is what she looks like now:
It really came out nice. I'm 110% happy with how it looks! Its a day I will never forget. It was my first success at preditor calling! It turned out to be a good week for me, as just a few days later I called in a couple coyotes that my brother put down:
Our cousin had to help hold all the game for the hero shot:
Thats him in the middle and that silly looking guy on the right is me. Man I love this stuff! I'm looking forward to another great season this winter!

Nice cat! and a good mounting job
It's hard to detect good luck, It looks so much like something you've worked hard for and earned.

Thanks guys, I'm stoked! acloco- Our local taxidermist is Cathy Gearwar, in Benson Vermont. She has done several deer mounts for my cousins and my brother, her work is top notch!

Re: Bobcat mount finally finished!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! My only question is a mount like that might spook visitors if they weren't informed of its presence. Might be one heck of a conversation starter, after you get them off of ceiling.......
shooting fishing camping did I mention shooting??
