I just had a real hunter pay me a visit. Those bobcats are death on 4 legs.

Kill em all! I once saw a bobcat try to take down a fawn in my backyard. The momma doe was worthless and stood about 50 yards away watching the show! I screamed and whistled at the cat and it moved away. I went upstairs and grabbed my rifle and provided overwatch for the fawn until momma came back to get it.

They are indeed very good hunters, don't see them nearly as often around here as we used to.

I'd love to have one mounted in the same pose you took that picture
As much as I have hunted n my life, I have only seen a handful in the wild. Really cool experiences when they happen though.
Had a real close encounter turkey hunting.

So expensive to mount. I killed a big cat 2 years ago, shot down on it through his eye and it did minimal damage to his coat. I called around and could not find a taxidermist who would just soft tan the hide. I didn't want to waste it, I didn't want to spend much money on it and I knew if i froze it, I'd just throw it away later after hem hawing on it for a year or two.
I skinned it myself (first one ever, took entirely too long ~3 hours) and pinned it flat to a board. Then added salt and borax. It's not soft but it looks good on a wall and the price was right.
I highly recommend giving it a try instead of letting one of those sharp looking killing machines just rot in a ditch.

Pound for pound they're one of the baddest animals out there and incredibly quiet. Killed one 20 years ago and had it mounted. Have seen quite a few since then and let them walk. They're turkey killers and should probably shoot them but they're so graceful to watch I haven't.
