I killed a huge Tom lion back 20yrs ago. I had it rugged. I never regretted not getting a mount. The rug is very versitale and takes up way less space, and a heck of a lot cheaper. Go for a rug

Beautiful cat! Being a taxidermist I would say spend the extra $$$ and get a full body mount. Check your locals work and ask lots of ???'s. I don't know prices in your area but around here probably only $200 more for full mount. JMO


plan your work, work your plan, your plan WILL work.

I've seen ALOT of terrible bobcat mounts, the good ones I've seen were VERY expensive. Unless your willing to spend a couple thousand on it I would definitely get the rug. Google bad bobcat mounts and you'll see what I mean.

Great looking cat, I'd be happy with a mount or rug but that t definitely deserves to be seen. If u go with a mount is check out wildlifeartist1 on here he's located in Michigan and his work is great on bobcats

Way to go Matt. Still searching down here for my first. Missed three with live traps over the warm up. Two malfunctioned live traps (one my fault) the last live trap has me scratching my head as there is no way the bait could have been taken without the animal being caught. Only thing I can think of is it was a coyote had to be something large enough to keep the door open while stealing the bait that was wired to the top of the cage in the back and it is a 30" live trap.

My advice would be to decide now if you intend to rug or mount it.Tanned hides have a shelf life and if you hang it for several years,it may stay looking great but may not be mountable.If you get it tanned and store it in the freezer,it will last indefinitely.Rug or mounted should be your choice but don't do either without being sure you pick a taxidermist that can do it justice.
