I have i bobcat skinned and ready to mount, the problem is it is 33" long and the biggest mannikin i can find is 32" long. will it work on the 32" or am i screwed. also is $65.00 too much to pay for a already skinned and tanned bobcat 33" inches long? Please help! Thanks, Chris

Cat price if just right--fair for a fresh specimen in good condition... and especially since selling it as a pelt will probably get trapper, hunter more.
As to size just cut form in two and add,( bondo, 1" piece of foam) to cat form.
if you think you can't mount it on a size smaller. There is no problem here. You can do one of two things here, cut the form and add an inch in the belly or leave as is and just taxi the skin so that you hane no real bumps. All you do is push the skin closer together. This will make the hair more fuller and might make it more life like for you.
65 sounds cheap and fine with me as long as it's in good condition.
if the person who skinned it and tanned it did a good job,it should have sold for twice that much.
