I shot a bobcat with my bow and got the hide tanned. I skinned out the head and everything but when I got it back they had the ears inside out and sowed on the inside..... Does that sound right? It just looks weird havin a head with no ears?! I am kinda mad about it but dont know if maybe I shouldnt be......

The ears should have been turned inside out before you sent it to tanning. That's the only way it would have been useful for future mounting. I don't know what the sewing is all about. If you want the ears right side out keep spraying water in/on the ear and push it back out. It may take a hour of two to get soft enough. The ears will dry and you'll be good to go. gary
