Shot this bobcat the other day big tom with a unique coat pattern, probably 5 feet long stretched out (back paw to front paw). I’m looking for a some one that does good bobcats. If y’all have had any done or suggestion any taxidermists let me see pics of there work and the name of the shop. Thanks!  ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-37896-207860-4eead3d4_b0ae_4077_8aa3_31a554d79d52.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-37896-207861-4b9ff4c0_7a18_469e_9bee_bddb7ad5b061.jpeg)

His name is Jerry Huffaker, located in Abilene, you can PM him on here or he has a Facebook page, or Huffakertaxidermy.com. Go back a few pages in the Taxidermy section and he's posted some pics of cats he's done.

I took a big tom (48#) about 10 or so years ago, did a lot of searching around my area to finalize on Billington Ranch Taxidermy located near Andice (NW from Georgetown). Does a very good job on cats. Most mounted cats eyes just don't look right to me, Evelyn Billington did a wonderful job on mine. I will try to remember to take a picture when I am at home.

Billington Ranch TaxidermyHonestly, I'm glad that you got a good one from them, one of my most disappointing bobcat mounts came from Billington. I think they were the hype on here around that time and I fell for some of the better pics that were posted on here. Maybe it's just me but when I spend $1K on mount and wall pedestal I expect a little more than this. This was a full bodied Webb Co bobcat, came back looking like it hadn't eaten for a month, bald spots and also a base that separated from the plywood backing. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-25326-207879-img_1122.jpeg)

Looks like double nickel does nice work judging from the website. I’d stay clear of god’s creation, check out the reviews on him about 4 topics down on this taxidermy page.

I would not be happy with that either I took a big tom (48#) about 10 or so years ago, did a lot of searching around my area to finalize on Billington Ranch Taxidermy located near Andice (NW from Georgetown). Does a very good job on cats. Most mounted cats eyes just don't look right to me, Evelyn Billington did a wonderful job on mine. I will try to remember to take a picture when I am at home.

Cypress Slough TaxidermyChuck Denson is an artist. Does a great job on cats. Does this full time so its not a side gig for him.

Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

HufTax would be my vote. His cats are the most consistent quality-wise that I have seen...

Brazos Valley Taxidermy did the cat and the duck. I added the antlers later. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-34238-208643-photo023.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-34238-208644-cat_and_duck.jpg)
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.
