I thought I'd post a few by a good friend and amazing taxidermist Dean Schulte with High Uintahs taxidermy up in Utah (www.deansart.com). Dean's leopards have progressively gotten better over the time I've known him, and there's no doubt I'll be sending him my cat should I get one on my Zimbabwe trip next July. Let me know what you guys think, I personally like the way the top leopard is mounted, but his action mounts are amazing as well.

Super Cool mounts.

Love the face on the last one. Great work, good luck to you in July, hope you get a big one.

i love the ear position on the first one. lots of leopard mounts have the ears alert, but relaxed looks so much more natural. very nice!

great taxidermy art

Real -- that's high praise!

looks nice from here

I agree, I like that natural look. I am on the fence about that or an action pose, but I will probably cross that hurdle when I actually get a cat in the salt I find that picking out a mount before you have even killed an animal is the best way to jinx yourself!

Those are great mounts. I really also like the face of the one with the bushbuck BUT to my mind it does not go with the action of the animal.

Great looking! Really great!

Wow that bottom one is amazing. Lots of spots!

i would be happy with any of them

Impressive!
