Son shot a bobcat over the weekend and wants to have the kids/skin tanned. I know very little about this, but looking for someone to do it, preferably in the Baton Rouge area.
Thanks

Where’s the closest Sonic to you?

You could buy a kit and do it at the house with your son.

I would think a bobcat hide would be relatively easy to skin, flesh, and tan, however any taxidermist could do it as well for cheap. I think I paid $125 for the last one I had done but that was several years ago.

Most taxis send them off. Drop it with them or send it off yourself.

Get your brother and cousins together and light off a bunch of M-80's behind my Grandfathers quail houses, causing them not to lay and my Grandpaw could oblige you, if he was still alive...

I can get it tanned for you. Would be $225 if you want me to skin or $200 if you skin it.

There’s not a lot of folks around here that do it. Like someone just said, most taxidermist send it off for soft tans.
Bayou bones and tan might do it but I get the feeling he is just doing it for taxidermists. I just got some deer hides done and I just gave them to a taxidermist, I didn’t want to have to deal with fleshing and mailing them off to moyles or rocky mountain or somebody like that.
If you want a real soft tan, I wouldn’t diy. I’ve done a few myself and they are cured but they aren’t soft and I don’t have the machines to thin and break them. I think I’ll try to flesh and send my next ones off myself to save some cash.

The TV told me all you need to do is stretch it and rub the brains of the animal all over it repeatedly.
Good luck

Brain tanning is very effective. Still have to flesh it out and break it down. Can use a wooden post to do that

I bought a kit through Amazon which uses Alum paste to do my first deer tan. Rather than fleshing with the metal scraper provided, I used my pressure washer (saw it on YouTube). It worked but made quite the mess in my driveway. I've made it into a rug with the hair on and put it in my home office.

I had the same thing done a few years ago at Buckhorn Taxidermy Studio in Eunice. Highly recommend and it still looks fantastic. Can’t recommend enough.
