Thinking of getting bobcat rug made, took 7-8 years to get tag here So would rather keep it then sell it. Has nice spots. Anyone have picture of how there rugs turned out?

Before you spend keep checking for a quality taxidermist that KNOWS cats. Look at photos of work or in person mounts. Last thing you want is spend $1000+ - and get a terrible return. Keep in mind on a rug the belly is split so you'll only get a small amount of spots on each side of the rug Here's mine.

Bobcat rugs look pretty Cool! Spendy...but cool I got a quote for a rug from an excellent taxidermist in my area. Around $600, I didn't think that was too bad. Around sixteen months to get it back. I'm trying to decide whether to go open or closed mouth. Probably open.

That's a steal. Have you seen his cats? Make sure you check them out before you commit Not in person. I met him at a sportsman's show two or three years ago and was extremely impressed with his work, but I can't honestly say I remember seeing cats. I had just had a life size mount done on a black bear by another taxidermist and wasn't pleased with the results. I saw this guys work soon afterward and kicked myself for not knowing about him sooner. Two hour drive to get to him but that's not a big deal. He was honest about the sixteen month turnaround on his work. I haven't waited on a taxidermist like that in years. I assume it's probably worth the wait. That's the second quote I've had for cats. Both came in around $600. Here is one pic of his work.
