I have 2 mounted and my favorite one is an open mouth rug
I also like mounts where the belly spots are more visible

A buddy and I shot two in south Texas a few years back. I had mine mounted with her creeping up on a quail in some short grass. My buddy mounted his where it was almost jumping straight up with a quail on its paw. Both mounts came out pretty good. When I get back to the farm in a couple of days, I'll send you a pic.

Gotta do the quail-leap thing. Although, if I'm lucky enough to ever shoot a good one, I'll probably do an open-mouth rug 'cause that's what my grandfather had.

I saw a sofa table mount (longer and narrow) that had a bobcat just behind a jackrabbit (both running) that was really awesome looking....

Wonder if they could do one of a crouching cat creeping up on a quail in some 6-7 inch grass?

A buddy of mine had his bobcat mounted laying down and had it perched on an exposed beam in the ceiling of his house. I don't know how many times it almost got shot again.

I think that a bobcat is probably one of the most difficult animals for a taxidermist to do well. The vast majority of them come out looking ridiculous, silly and embarrassing. Very few taxidermist can do them well. In fact, looking at their bobcat pictures is the easiest way to find a good one. Those who do bad bobcat mounts and post picture of them don't have a clue of what they are doing, and even worse, don't understand that posting pictures of bad work reflects on what their other work is like.
Keeping it simple is going to give you the best results. Action, open mouth, snarling or being aggressive just increases the odds that you will end up with something that people will laugh about behind your back.
Here's one I did a couple weeks ago.

If I ever shoot a big male bobcat, I am definitely making the drive to let you do it and have it mounted just like that. That is an awesome mount and beautiful cat, very very nice work.

Awesome work! If I ever get a nice size cat, I will be calling. Once again, nice mount.
