Taxidermist recommendation for Bobcat

Anyone care to recommend a good taxidermist in central AL for a Bobcat mount?
I've seen some good ones and some really bad ones.
Thanks.

Hicks in Northport did a great one for me 20 years ago. Still looks great.

I've always heard that cats are what separate good taxidermists from average ones.

Joel Stone in Leeds. He did a great job on my deer and he had several bobcat mounts in the shop. Looked great.

Yep the eyes and the muzzle area.

Phil riddle in Alex city

Mark Mims in Selma did a bobcat for me a few years ago that turned out great.

We need to see pics of these guys work.

Adam Cochran with Scattered Oaks Taxidermy does a good one in my opinion.

I have a pretty good one that does Bobcats if you want him

Haha beat me to it Burbank

these are some cool cats ... talk about adding a touch of "savoir-faire"

Put a cover on that outlet

Joey not mounting bobcats anymore, most deer and some African stuff

Not this guy !

Cats are hard to do. Rarely see a good one.

This thread always makes me cringe

Joel Stone in Leeds is still mounting a few bobcats that are not shot up . I spoke with Josh about it tonight . If anyone wants to post pic of a cat they did for me years ago pm me . I’ll text you the pic

Thanks , Seth

Posting for Seth.

Why is it so hard for taxidermists to get Bobcats eyes right?

Thanks Wdmax1...
Stones mounted this cat back in 96 or 97 .

Face in general is usually jacked up.

I think it's because the pupils are vertical and hard to set correctly. The cheap eyes don't look very realistic either.

The only guy I’d let touch a bobcat won’t do them anymore. They’re the hardest North American animal to mount. 90% or more of mounts look pathetic.

Rhett Kelly did one for me probably 10 years ago. It is the best one i have seen and has held up great. He did great on a coyote for me as well.

Mark Mims in Selma. Great guy and has done quite a few over the years.

I think I have a deer mounted by this guy.

Fanchers does some jam up work too

Not central Alabama but if you want someone who can make him look so alive you'll think you can hear him purring , call Stan Gross in Scottsboro. Here's some of his work , made him look better dead than when he was alive! Ain't many Taxidermists that can pull this off.

Don Stevens wife, Jessica, is an artist with cats. She used to work with/help in Joel Stone's shop and might still do so. She's won numerous awards for her work, as has Don.

Mark did a bobcat for me and it looks like it's still alive.

Jessica is the best I have ever seen by far. Great work.

Look up Amy's Animal Art on Facebook. Amazing work. Not local though.

Ditto...Mark did a great job on mine

I would bet this would be Ron Bettondorf....

They're actually not that hard to mount.
