egg tanned bobcat
« on: February 25, 2008, 10:03:00 pm »
i finnished up tanning a road killed bobcat, i was driving at work and saw it on the side of the road and very fresh. no sense in letting it go to waiste. i used eggs because the brains were still on the road. unfortunatly the head far far too unusable and it tore some holes in the legs. but here it is, just figured i would share it fr whats its worth.    also it turned out very soft and supple for the majority, the legs are just a bit papery but not bad at all.- Ryan

what a beautiful quiver that would make.  i'm glad you took it.  it always tears me up when i see animals wasted along the road.  in germany it's considered pouching, if you pick it up (what a stupid law) so we have to let it go to waste and i hate that.  >:(

PS: do you think we could talk you into a "tan-allong" the next time you find something like that?

Nice, here in Michigan you would be a criminal for picking up roadkill like that especially bobcat :o

Man, that's crazy (the roadkill laws) what a waste. Here it's thou shalt not take any part of a roadkilt deer :D, anything else is fair game - oh except for all the hawks with purty feathers laying everywhere >:( >:(.

Oh yeah - I second the motion that you should do a tan along Ryan :). Would be very useful to us that haven't seen or read about it..

Very nice!  I'm jealous.

Roadkill is mostly off limits to us in Texas.  I've talked to fish & game and we might be able to get away with possession of SOME fur-bearing animals if we have a hunting or trappers license.....during the right season.....and if the animal is not on the rabies watch list.

Very nice tan job.  Would make a great quiver. 
Here you cannot pick up any game animal parts unless you have a license for that species.  I picked up a bobcat back when the prices were high and got $500 for a road kill.  :-* Justin

Hey Patrick: The way I understand it in TX is anything but deer is OK as long as your taking it for your own use and not selling it. Read that in the book but haven't talked to any wardens. I pick up anything I want as long as it's fresh :).
