Kiri,

Third from left is a Kafue lechwe from Zambia. Furthest left is also a lechwe but the red variety from Boswana.

I did this one a few years back for a fellow. He had hunted it with dogs and it bayed up on the ground then attacked when the humans cam in view.




He had the table top glass cut to match the base profile which was designed in the shape of the African continent. But I can't get that photo to post so have the link here, (possible too large a file)

Mike,

That is a really unique way to display a trophy. I just love the leopard's pose and the idea behind the composition of the piece with a glass table top.

Kind Regards,

this was originallly intended to be a wall mount but after it arrived i realized that a lot of the detail would be lost if you looked at it from below up on the wall. so i bought a piece of furniture and bolted it to the back. now it sits in my trophy room at eye level against a glass block wall

JDollar, I'll second the remark about that being an excellent looking leopard mount. I like the way you chose to display it. It seems like you have a very nice trophy room in addition to your leopard. Would you mind sharing it with us?

I'm very curious. With the present requirement for treated wood for packaging, etc. - would they even let you use a real tree limb for taxidermy anymore, and how would you have to prove the treatment? I would hate to have a trophy held up at import for something like that.

when i get a chance, i will take some more pics and post them. i have about 25-28 shoulder mounts plus a pedestal cape buff, and full body warthog in the front entryway into the house. as regards the tree limb, i am not sure if the USFW and Customs in San Fran even opened the crate( it sure didn't look like they did). the limb itself is most defintely real- you can take your fingernail and peel off splinters if you try!!! i have no idea if ithe limb had been treated but the wood on the crate had the appropriate stamps on it.

Howdy. The cat was mounted at Tri-State Taxidermy in Houston, TX. It is a large cat from Zim. Seven feet four inches in length. Skull was 15 and 15/16. I do not have a recorded weight so I can't tell you. The entire mount with bushbuck is impressive but I still need to take some good pics of total composition. When I get them I will post them up.

Smarter,
that is very nice, except the nose. Not the right shade of pink IMO. Perhaps the Taxidermist can touch it up without too much effort? Then it would be perfect. One of the better mounts I've seen....

Bwanamich,

Nose coloration varies widely with leopards. This nose was matched to a photo. Flash on camera makes it look a little pinky in photo. I killed another leopard that had an all black nose with one little pink spot. I have seen another cat that had a very light brown nose. Thanks for the input though.

smarter,
Like the motion in the cat, also apreciate the natural size, not out of proportion. Definately one of the best I've seen. Where did you get it?
Your taxidermist does a great job.

Thanks Roger! Everyone that sees it in person loves it.

It is a hard mount to photograph and get the full 360 appreciation.

I don't know if you clicked on the link to see it under the glass. It is a shot of it in the lodge room where it resides. It is a sunken space and not enough room to get full face, plus poor lighting.

coffee table leopard

Someday I may talk the guy into letting me take it our and set it up for a really good professional shot.

Or maybe someday I'll get an equaly awesome cat and do one for myself!!!

Best Regards

Mike O

Yes I had a look at the link with the glass top and liked the whole concept, ditto on wanting one of those for myself with a awesome cat, could even work with cheetah.

My wife and I had the distinct honor of visiting Dr. Tim and his family last evening, our main goal being to see the leopard mount he has shown us above. My only comment is that the photo does not EVEN come close to representing how magnificint that leopard is! Tim, you and Val were most gracious and you gotta know we are even more stoked about our impending trip now. How about posting your buffalo for the AR folks? Smiler
