So I was running some mink traps yesterday morning, as any good trapper would lol I noticed a fresh road kill. It was a juvenile Bobcat, not tore up in the slightest bit. Can I do anything with it? I put it in the freezer whole till I could figure something out.

Very nice.Put it on the stretcher.Im assuming it's open season on bobcats there.

Yes sir season is in. Just wondering if I should put it on a stretcher or try and save it for the taxidermy market.

more money in the taxi market if its not too torn up

Just to piggy back on this thread, what constitutes one that is good for the taxi market and what is a fair asking price? I caught one the other day and froze it whole, but didnt know what to ask for it.

Alot of nice white belly spots and coloring

Sniper how would a person go about selling to the taxi market. That area is all brand new to me

Taxidermy.net

Used to be s group of Facebook but it got shutdown so taxidermy.net



Babies and odd balls are loved by the taxi guys

As for price I'd peruse old posts to see what's been offered

CreekRat you could try the sales in Malvern or Lonoke. Sometimes there are taxi buyers there.

The white belly isn't as important for the taxi market, you can't see the belly on most mounts anyways. I never put up nice white bellied cats with the feet on, the fur guys will pay more for them than the craft buyers or taxi guys. But if you have one with an off belly but really nice spots and color on the sides and back, it will likely do better for taxi or craft buyers. Likewise with little fellers, they make really nice mounts but simply don't have the square inches of fur.
