Mounted leopard pics

If I could live my hunting life over, I think I would focus just on European skull mounts, rugs and hides. Shoulder mounts and full body mounts cost a fortune, take up too much room and just lead to arguments with your wife regarding having "dead" animals all over.

Live and learn.

This isn't mine, but...it is a photo I took at an SCI show a few years ago.

Rusty,

Is that mount above the bed yours?

Hmmmm.... I resemble that remark!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

MJines,

I like how the nice leopard is helping the bushbuck into the tree and away from the hungry hyena.

In all seriousness, awesome looking mount. In fact, all the taxidermy leopards in this thread look good!
