Good is much more important than fast.

If you take it to a fast taxidermist be sure you pick up a big can of deoderizer and some insect spray.

Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Convenience rarely walks hand in hand with quality.

Definitely go for quality before turnaround time. Most of the ones with quick turnaround are quick because of a lack of return business. Unless you have a budy in the business like I do.
He Also happens to be VERY good.

Whatever you do, get photos of cats or go see cats they have done. Cats are the hardest to get right.

I have always believed that you can only have two of the following, rarely ever all three:
Speed Quality Price
You might be able to find a taxi to do faster than normal work for you, but if you want quality you will have to pay a ridiculous price.

Call Gary at Superior he is doing my Bobcat and does great work!! He has done 6 of my mounts and I have no complaints about any of them. He does a pretty quick turnaround as well. The largest difference is that he actually cares about each and every mount - and it shows in the quality of his work. Give him a call and I am sure he could get it done a a great price and faster then anyone else - 817-337-3337

Truelife in Granbury is very good, he is neither cheap, nor fast. I assume you will have this mount in your home or office for a very long time. I suggest you get it done right.

If I ever have the chance to have a bobcat mounted.....I'm going to find the most expensive damn taxidermist I can find and tell him to take as long as he needs to make sure he does a good job. I cannot tell you how many downright CRAPPY bobcat mounts I've seen on this forum. But most of the time I don't have the heart to tell the poster his bobcat mount looks like it got beaten with an ugly stick.....

Take a look at our cats on our website. We are not fast but we don't skimp on quality or anatomical accuracy.
