First Taxidermy Attempt

Thanks guys! I think Ill attempt one of my bobcats as my next project.
Comanche your human taxidermy idea reminds me of something I seen on tv once. Can’t remember if it was a show or movie or what it was called but there was this strange serial killer who mounted/stuffed his victims. He was trying to recreate a 50s style picture of a woman and a man in the kitchen. The man was mounted to resemble him getting ready for work at the breakfast table and the woman was mounted as if she was getting ready to hand a lunch box to a child before they go off to school. The killer was trying to find the lunch box to finish the job. Really odd show/movie!

I tried it years ago and it’s a lot harder than it looks
It absolutely is. It requires a ton of patience. Prepping the hide is just half the battle. Salting, fleshing, pickling and tanning the hide then the actual mounting on the form. A whole lot of steps to take. I have one of my bobcat capes in the pickle now. Hope it turns out decent like the raccoon did in the end.
