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

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

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. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/SxLTy2bQ/20150901-154130.jpg)

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 Mims in Selma did a bobcat for me a few years ago that turned out great. Mark did a bobcat for me and it looks like it's still alive.
I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

Hicks in Northport did a great one for me 20 years ago. Still looks great. We need to see pics of these guys work. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/mg24KGLV/E7-F95-AC0-1335-4-A61-B9-C6-F23-D8-F337166.jpg)

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

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