LeopardtrackThe Taxidermy itself is AWESOME...but the only thing that I don't like is that it is "unrealistic" for a Mountian Lion and a Blackbuck to be mounted together. Unless it was on a preserve in Texas that would never happen.
More realistic with deer in pic.
With that said however, if I were a taxidermist, I would mount any animal however the client wanted it, as long as his money was gree.!!
Great work on your part and it looks great!

LeopardtrackI didn't know that there were "wild" Blackbuck there....so yes, Puma would kill them as natural prey.
Don't get me wrong...beautiful job and I love it!!

L. David KeithBlackbuck can be found in private hands all across north & south America in isolated pockets. South American Puma's tend to be on the smallish side compared to some of their northern cousins but would definitely take down a Blackbuck in Argentina. Currently, I do not think we can import Puma's from SA nor the brown Brocket Deer unless something recently changed. Hopefully, that will get sorted out. Nice mounts!

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Bob in TXLOL! Don't worry, you are not alone. They were introduced in the Edwards Plateau area in the 30's.
