How do you attach a bird in a bobcat mouth. Do you snarl the mouth more open if it's carrying a dead bird?
Thanks,
Oneshot

I think that if you make the middle of the bird out of something soft like fiberfil, then you can compress the bird, stick it in the cats mouth, then when the fiberfil fluffs back up the bird will stay put by itself....I think.... Smiley

i agree with done right. cut a sponge down to approximate size of the bird body, mount and place in the bobcats mouth BEFORE the bird skin dries all the way.
