Bobcat in quarantine - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

Leon County Slayer · 03-25-2020, 10:38 PM

Well I got a much anticipated photo from my good friend Barry “Wildthings” here on tBH. He surprised me with an amazing mount of a big bobcat I shot a while back from about 10 feet away and you’d never know it had a hole the size of a bowling ball in it. Can’t wait to see him in person (and the cat) when this shelter at home opens back up. Barry’s a master duck taxidermist of all things too! Love all the details and will post more pics after he makes it back home.
Thanks friend!

Looks great, congrats.

12ring · 03-26-2020, 08:10 AM

Taxi's must be seeing all the TBH cat bashing threads, and "upping their game".

I'd have one mounted if I thought it'd turn out as well as yours!

Leon County Slayer · 03-26-2020, 08:14 AM

Thanks guys. To say I was pleasantly surprised when he texted me is an understatement. Can’t wait to get him on the wall!!! The cheek Tufts on him were huge. Thought i hit a lynx at first glance.

Funny back story. The day before I shot him my wife and son were in the blind with me and she freaks out saying there was a mtn lion right next to her but was gone by the time I turned around. Needless to say, she didn’t sit with me on day 2

Thanks for the nice words Brian. That was a nice cat except for the hole you blew in him. I still say you were using a .300 Weatherby!! LOL

Well that's one if not the best cat mount I have seen and I have seen a bunch of them. You got his posture perfect to be looking sideways. Great job. Steve

Mexico · 03-26-2020, 09:25 AM

Very nice mount!

Chew · 03-26-2020, 09:26 AM

Love it. So glad you didn't get a Chester Cheetah like so many others. =)

Black-N-Red · 03-26-2020, 09:43 AM

Good looking mount!! Can’t wait to get my sons back.

Leon County Slayer · 03-26-2020, 09:53 AM

I should post the hole in his other side. Good night!! You’d never think a .308 could cause a .50 result.
