Full body mounts

Currently my only full body mounts are a yellowtail mongoose and a baboon. Hopefully after my 2025 trip I'll have a 2nd baboon, bushpig, a couple of smaller cats, porcupine, black back jackal, honey badger, and maybe a nice warthog and a monkey.

I'm planning on, but already dreading the taxidermy bill and shipping costs.
 
Those would both be very large but if you got the room go for it. I have a full body leopard I am picking up soon.
I hope to take my leopard to complete my big 5 in July 25. I will be having a full body mount if successful. would greatly appreciate any cost details you can share on your leopard full body mount
 
Here are a few more life size mounts I have.

I’ve got a full body Nyala and Mountain Lion (pics from the taxidermist, he’s not on the wall yet). I was going to do a bull body bushbuck by my PH & @gizmo convinced me to do the Nyala instead. The colors on the lower body made it an easy choice.

I’ve got a couple Tiny 10 animals currently being worked on as well as a Carcal, and Bobcat. Aside from other cats, an Ocellated Turkey and other Tiny’s, the other animals I’d consider a full body on (if I hunted one) are Sheep, Goat, and Bongo. Space would definitely be an issue, but I’d figure something out. Full body MuskOx are cool but we’re battling space and I think a 1/2 body would do the trick.

Unfortunately, I'm running out of room, and this will be my last set of shoulder mounts. My mounts are getting done by @gizmo too, and hopefully will have them this year. :) From now on, Euromounts, pictures, and a Sable shoulder mount if I ever get one. :ROFLMAO:
 
The more I look at these mounts the more I realize how large a Kudu actually is. I was thinking they were more the size of a whitetail deer than elk. Comments welcome.
Number one stunner for me on first safari was how big they are compared to what I thought.

I'd love to know more about your mountain lion as it's always been a dream hunt for me. Please send me a pm if you're willing to share info.
 
If I hunt anything exotic it’ll just be done as a skin/rug. Can’t afford anything flash but it’ll do :)

Thank you, taxidermist in Wyoming. I think he did a great job on him

I hunted with a buddy who’s got some hounds.

Hunting, photographic safaris and unforgettable African experiences

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
