I have been looking for a bobcat, and I finally crossed paths with this one Christmas eve. He was in super shape, still warm and chilling fast in the unusually cold weather we have been having.


I used the faithful Lutan F kit from van Dyke's Taxidermy.
This pelt will make a couple of very nice sporrans.


As you know, one works the skin by stretching it as it dries. As the skin nears dryness, work it over a dull metal object such as an ax head, shovel, or plate steel. I don't know why I didn't think about using a harrow disc until this bobcat. It works great!
