I know it's hard to tell in pics, but this is a huge Leopard, he has a 40" girth. A really old scarred up warrior.

That is really a great mount. I shot a pretty big leopard in Zim a month ago (see Shangani Leopard in the Hunt Reports - Africa section), and I have been looking for ideas on how to get mine mounted. I really like the way this cat was done. Any idea where in Zim it was taken?

Thanks for the compliments, I'm really proud of this leopard. It was a ranch cat, taken in the Insiza district, about 3 hours south of Bulawayo. He went 7'10" and weighed 170 lbs. The ph was Lindon Stanton w/Mbalabala Safaris & the largest leopard he had taken in several years.

I have seen this mount in person. It's hard to describe how massive this cat is. It's a beautiful mount of an exceptional cat.
