Congrats JB. That is one beautiful cat and a great piece of taxidermy. Please share a pic when he gets "home".

Will do. Thank you JB

What a spectacular mount! One of the best cat mounts I've seen, everything looks great, the leopard's position and the habitat, and theme with the dik-dik are incredible. I think you might have to pick a better location in your house to show that mount off.

Thank you.. well my trophy room is pretty full but I may move my Cape buffalo to that spot and place the leopard their, not sure until I get it home end of this month. I want it where I can see it clearly while I’m sitting and watching TV.

That’s incredible Johnny, and I respect your honesty. I am very good friend with a PH who specializes in leopard and I have done allot of field and academic research on leopards as well, so I can tell you that a 147lb leopard with an empty stomach is many other people’s 190lb cat when they estimate the weight. Not even exaggerating with yours, if you put 30lbs of meat in his belly he’s an honest 180lb cat which is a rare beast ANYWHERE in Africa today.
Condrats on a dream cat!

Thank you again. I was very happy with him

 

[BobT]

He looks like you need to shoot him again!

 

[johnnyblues]

Lol. Man I’m happy with the way everything turned out

Becoming a triple pedestal mount.

Very impressive mount Johnny. I think you've just made a lot of people envious. That's a good thing.

 

[johnnyblues]

Lol. Not my intention at all. Just sharing my excitement with my brothers. Believe me I’m humble.
