Title: Got my kitty back
Post by: kennym on April 26, 2018, 04:25:02 PM
Just got delivered by my taxidermist to my house. I'm helping him figure out a longbow so he brought her home (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180426/50222160dc3663a76a2486d825fc4f5b.jpg)

Looking good Kenny! The last days of our deer season I had kats that couldn't tell if they wanted to run away or come have a chat with me about hunting in the snow. One closed almost to 40yds from 125ish.

Thanks guys, that will be the last one full mounted I think.  I have the one tanned, and have planned to split it and have it lay flat on the wall, but can't quite bring myself to do it.

Both an excellent harvest and a wonderful mount...Congrats!

 hi Kenny I had one made into a back quiver and the guy was really great I don't remember who did it but he had the tail and the rear Paws hanging off the bottom front paws hanging off the top and the strap came through the Bobcats throat and out its mouth and the Bobcats head mounted on the front of my shoulder it was really cool the guy did a great job so you might think of that you know

That would be really cool, but I don't use back quivers. And Renee prob won't let it leave the living room.  :)

Beautiful cats Kenny.
We're not allowed to hunt them here. But rumor has it they are going to open up a limited trapping season this year.
Title: Re: Got my kitty back
Post by: Roy from Pa on April 27, 2018, 08:27:55 PM
Dude caught one about 400 yards from my house last year, had to let it go. Not allowed to trap them right here.
Title: Re: Got my kitty back
Post by: kennym on April 27, 2018, 08:55:56 PM
We have plenty, I average 5-6 sightings a year and have taken 3 with longbow. And mmmmmmmissed one tttttwwwice at 8 yards cause I talked myself into shooting low .  :knothead:

Post by: Roy from Pa on April 27, 2018, 08:58:33 PM
Cool. There are a lot in Pa but not many right where I live.

There is a trapping season for them in Pa but it's more up north.

Good looking bobcat Kenny! Your taxidermist done a great job

Post by: kennym on April 29, 2018, 11:02:41 AM
I think so too, it was his 3rd or 4th cat. Says he is still learning, but I think he's gonna be very good.

I've done a few cats myself, and the trick to getting to look lifelike is getting the correct angle on the pupils. If you don't get the eyes right then it's not gonna look right. The eyes are the window to the soul!

Nice!
Title: Re: Got my kitty back
Post by: kennym on April 29, 2018, 12:57:42 PM
Yep Dannon, the first cat I had done the eyes aren't quite right. You see it as soon as you see the mount.

Post by: JimB on April 29, 2018, 01:01:44 PM
Nice cat Kenny.I've handled a bunch but never had a chance to draw the string on one and probably never will.It would be neat to see them that frequently.
