Schipper, that is a gorgeous cat. AND wee fox.

Would it be ok with you if I put your cat photos in my folder to use as a colour pattern reference ,when I have another commission to illustrate one for my editor ?

I would let you know , as to when, of course.

If not, no worries, I understand.

At any rate, can you possibly take pics of his face ? The stripes I can just see shows beauty in markings there too.

Well done , thank you for the share .

Sharon feel free to use the pictures however you want. It’s currently in the freezer. If you really want more pictures of it’s face I can pull it out for pictures.

Nice ones. I don't think you are in my part of MO.? I have heard of one gray fox caught around here years ago and we don't have bobcats that look anything close to that. Good deal.

Thank you for kindly allowing me to borrow your amazing cat image , Schipper.

I figured you would have him stowed safely in your freezer !

It's ok, don't pull him back out. I don't want that inconvenience for you. Maybe when you do take him out later, Id love to see his face !

But don't do that now just for this.

He is just now curling up in there to get comfortable grin

I really like cats like this in art. I will surely let you know when an opportunity arises that I can use his image. I do that routinely with any trapper who's special catch I use.

Turkeytime this one came from the Paris shelbina area. The grey fox is the last furbearer I need to catch in Missouri other than a nutria.

That would be a tough choice for me.
$500.00 outright sale, or spend a fortune to pay the best bobcat taxidermist to mount it. I cannot stand average jobs on bobcats. Its all or nothing for me, especially with a specimen like yours.

Nice cat! Congrats! Either keep it, or sell on the taxidermy market would be my advise. I think the price suggested was about right.

That’s a beauty furdaddy. What did he weigh? This one weighed 27lbs. I also caught a 26lb female today, she was rabbit backed. Thanks for the kind words everyone. Now to decide what to do with him. I already have 2 mounted, running out of room.
