Looks good, maybe just clean off the blood.

The pelt is shifted, looking at the dark stripe down the back, to the right on the board. That would mean the belly is shifted as well. need to keep that stripe straight, you did, and centered, you didn't. Again, looking at the back, about where the legs attach on the left side of the board you can see brown fur on the very edge, that you don't see on the opposite side. Again, it's not fully centered on the board.

A good dry bath in borax should take care of the blood and make the overall appearance improve.

And Mac has a point about centering on the board. You can see it is off center by lookin at either side.

I noticed that the next day, when I looked at the pic. Too late now, but thanks. I only put up a couple a year, so any and all advice is welcomed. I also didn't pin the back legs well enough and got a little searation in the crotch area. As far as the blood, it will get a good borax rubbing and a blow job when I take it off the board. Thanks again, all!

I leave the bottom lip on, just pin it up to dry. I think it looks better and if getting tanned both lips make the mouth look better too, imo.
Center it up and get the blood off.
We wash our bobcat hides before boarding, adds a drying time but looks really nice and fluffs the hair.
Dry it with the head down, bet you know that though.
