I just got done mounting a bobcat on a form that was way to small and I had to alter alot I was going to use the [a supply company] Wbc134h134 CM but it was way to big I have another hide but it is smaller than the last so I am going to have to get another form if anyone wants this one I will sell it at fullcost and shipping all I did to it was cut the wire off the legs which are not needed because of the pose. what should I do. This is like the forth or fith time in my 3 month long taxidermy career that I have got the rong size form and I am running out of money for new ones if any one is interested in helping email me and I might be able to come down on the price since you will be doing me a favor.

I would also be willing to trade I need somthing with a n e of 1 1/4 girth 12 and L of 26 thanks.
Stanley, You didn't ask but here's some advise on mounting bobcats---Mount the cat 1 or 2 inches shorter than you measure, save the carcass and lay it next to the form when you get it. Adjust your form to match the actual body of the cat--legs on the forms are often thicker than the real cat and girth is often very "tight-waisted" on the cat but thicker on the forms. Always "slot" the form behind the legs that overlap the body to allow freedom positioning the skin. These things might make your next cat easier--enjoy, Aaron H.
i know its tough making investments when first starting out or working with a limited budget, but all the money and time your waisting missordering forms etc. may be better spent on a good cat mounting video. Jan Vanhousen's comes to mind. plus you can use these techniques on just about any specimen you mount
if i could make a one more suggestion i would stay away from DC supply company. the forms are junk and not accurate, no shape to the legs.
cut, remove, replace, repeat.
