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.

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

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.

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.
