Congrats, bobcat are really cool. I used to run a trapline when I was growing up in CO and I'd get 4 or 5 a year. They sold for good $$$ back then. CO outlawed trapping and I went years without one and finally shot one with a 22 rifle when I was rabbit hunting. Tried to sell the pelt and was offered slightly more than nothing for it. Decided to mount it. I went with a lying down pose on an extended tree limb. It is a mount for the corner of a room and the cat is positioned so it tooks to the center of the room. No matter where you stand it looks like it is looking at you.

I've seen 5 or 6 since then but won't ever shoot another. Just too cool of a critter in my mind.
