Leopard Taxidermy

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

Looks more like a leopard bench.

Fos,

I am glad to see that he/she/shit is finished.

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...

All I can say is them folks over in Zimbabwe sure has got's themselves some ~~weird and funny~~ different looking leopard critters.

Did the same Aborigines that guided the hunt, mount that?

Apologies in advance for the substandard pictures. I haven't got my lighting installed, and this mornings sunlight is pretty harsh.

HuntnCarve · June 05, 2013, 10:24:44 AM

Outstanding FOs! Glad to see you fired your first Taxidermist.

That leopard is magnificent! Heck, everything looks great!

Now that's more like it, beautiful work!!!

Even if the lighting is a tad off those mounts look to be Museum quality, if not better!

FinsnFur · June 05, 2013, 07:38:29 PM

Mannnn o man, that Leopard is absolutely beautiful.

Kudos on the Kudo too...I've never seen one alive let alone mounted, but someone did some fine work.

Hawks Feather · June 05, 2013, 08:58:30 PM

WOW! Those look really great. Not as good as the original (

) but darn good.

Beautiful mounts, Fos! Really like that close up pic of the leopard - you wonder what he sees.

HaMeR · June 06, 2013, 07:17:15 AM

SWEET!!!!!!!! All great mounts & pics!!

Very nice !

Hawks Feather · June 06, 2013, 09:02:11 PM

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.

Those are superb. I'd love to see those mounts in person.

iahntr · June 07, 2013, 06:45:38 PM

All very nice !

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.
