Good deal on getting that cat. Getting a stiff neck from the side ways photo. Got many cats in Georgia.

Congrats! Many taxidermists aren't that great with mounting cats so do your homework. You can always just get it tanned too.

I have nothing clever to put here.

If you rug it, like stated above. Make sure the taxidermist sews the liner on and doesn’t glue it. Glue will separate over the years. Congratulations!!!

Nice catch. Congratulations.
Did you have that hat made with your own fur?
If so maybe use that person to make something for you or the Mrs

If you do a full mount just make sure you do closed mouth. If you do a open mouth make sure they know how to color the tongue or they look too fake.[Linked Image]

Don't get it mounted. There is a TINY percentage of taxidermists who can do a bobcat justice. Most are terrible. Best to save the money and just have it tanned and get a nice picture of it framed.
