Sorry about the gut shot (.257 Roberts) Sun glare in my scope and I had about a 3 second window to get him before could disappear into the brush

I am having him mounted (RC Taxidermy in Del Rio). Wall mount on gray piece of dead cedar, slightly downhill...Per T'Dermist, easier to hide belly suture.

Nice spots. Looking forward to catching a few this winter. Our cats are really furry and bring a decent price. Anybody hear how the fur market is this winter? Our last early bobcat, Nov. one, brought in $350.

Our last early bobcat, Nov. one, brought in $350. I could be wrong but unless you win some contest money there is not a $350 bobcat living in the state of Texas. If there was i would be making some money.

It was a Wyoming bobcat and that was an early semi-heavy price. My trapping mentor sold a late season very heavy Wyoming cat at the fur auction that year for $1,250. We have beautiful bobcats up here. Here is the $350 cat. Yours has better spots but look at the fur on this early bobcat. She was 39 1/2 inches dried and stretched.
