I recently mounted this bobcat on one of Brian Harness divide and conquer forms. Needless to say bobcats are not my specialty by any means but I was very impressed with the form. Goes together great and hardly any form prep. Had it sitting outside for the rock to dry so this is not the best picture I could have taken but its the only one I have.
All his forms that I have used are great as I have used just about everyone he sells except fisher and skunk
They are easy to mount on, that’s for sure. They aren’t the easiest to alter though, and the heads need some serious work before adding skin. With a little work they can look plenty decent, and like I said, they are so easy to mount on you can make a good profit even with the head alterations.
Goes to show how much I know about bobcats I guess. Thought the head was exceptionally nice on the form. As I have already said, not my expertise.

I would suggest saving a cat head and neck, and either making a plaster mold of it, or storing it in your freezer and comparing it to the Harness head. I’m not picking on Brian’s forms, I just don’t see what he sees on the heads. It gets even more glaring when you compare the frozen head to a Roger Martin head. Try the exercise and see what you think.
I’ve had good luck with Brian’s forms. I see our southern subspecies cat heads in his forms. They fit good.
Hopefully I’ll have Brians raccoon form to post here soon.. gonna be ordering 3 more coon forms from him. Then I’ll be getting everything else from HQ… other than a beaver form and tail that has been put on the back burner.

Glad this thread was brought up, I just purchased two myself. I noticed in brians videos he has a live bobcat called bobby so I am sure he gets alot of reference from his cat.
The southern cats or different then the ones I have seen from up north. I just purchased skins from Minn. and those cats are bigger and longer haired..so maybe that is the difference in his heads. just a thought. the mounted cats that were posted on here looks nice.
