I still never did understand the guys that want a bobcat someone else shot/trapped in their man cave but I've sold a fair number of them over the years just for that. Our cats will run $30-60 green this year. I've already got one sold for $150 for a mount. Definitely worth pursuing.

FYI if you weigh a bunch of 35-40 pound bobcats the scale will say 30 or less. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

Nice to see others are selling to the taxi market. I have a guy that buys many critters and pays about 3 times fur market value. Good job on those cats. Wish I had more time to trap....

Same here. A friend asked for a cat to get mounted for his cave. I took it to the taxidermist a week or two back. I can't imagine spending a thousand dollars or more to have something mounted I had no part in taking but some people will.

Colors are all over the place I get my best cats and worst cat colors in the same places East and West river. The last one I got where I caught this red one earlier (6 days before season, released) was a Sandy silky cat. Last edited by Law Dog; 01/21/21 12:06 AM.
