My taxidermist finally completed my leopard I killed in Zimbabwe back in 2011.

Come on FOs! :laf: Looks more like a leopard bench. :alscalls:
Dave
Fos,
I am glad to see that he/she/shit is finished. :innocentwhistle: I can tell that you are VERY proud of it. Since the relatives in San Antonio just sold there house I doubt that I will ever have the chance to see it "up close and personal." I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the work you are having done when you post the images.

Actually, a big 18-wheeler just left. Just got done unloading my taxidermy. I'll need to wait until my boys are out of school to help muscle everything up two flights of stairs and then set up.
Pictures later...
Lol, looks like he killed fit a second time!!
:wo: All I can say is them folks over in Zimbabwe sure has got's themselves some weird and funny different looking leopard critters. :huh:
:innocentwhistle:
Did the same Aborigines that guided the hunt, mount that? :laf: :laf:
Apologies in advance for the substandard pictures. I haven't got my lighting installed, and this mornings sunlight is pretty harsh.

Outstanding FOs! Glad to see you fired your first Taxidermist. :laf: That leopard is magnificent! Heck, everything looks great!
Dave
:highclap: Now that's more like it, beautiful work!!! :thumb2:
Even if the lighting is a tad off those mounts look to be Museum quality, if not better!
Mannnn o man, that Leopard is absolutely beautiful. :yoyo:
Kudos on the Kudo too...I've never seen one alive let alone mounted, but someone did some fine work.
WOW! Those look really great. Not as good as the original ( :rolleye: ) but darn good.
Jerry
Beautiful mounts, Fos! Really like that close up pic of the leopard - you wonder what he sees.
SWEET!!!!!!!! All great mounts & pics!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
Very nice ! :yoyo:
I have looked at these several times and that leopard would probably scare the life out of me about every time I rounded a corner and came face to face with it.
Jerry
Those are superb. I'd love to see those mounts in person.
All very nice ! :bowingsmilie: :highclap:
The leopard of course has the coolness factor !
But I really like the double pedestal mount on the Kudus !
Might hafta keep that in mind for whitetail too.
Great work and great trophies. Congrats!
Holy crap...and my wife gets annoyed about all the ducks I have mounted. Actually I just picked up a mount from some birds I harvested last season. I'll have to post up a picture. :innocentwhistle:
Very nice mounts...quality specimens and quality work :highclap:
