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.
 
Have you done any waterfowl hunting in Africa yet?
No but next year I have a day of bird hunting planned but not sure what I’ll hunt yet.
 
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.

thank you very much

That is not an Echols rifle but a clone as it has the Echols stock and all the bells and whistles. Lon Paul who built the rifle does great work.

Mark - I think you have a CZ 404 Jeff in synthetic stock. Is this factory spec. or you switched the stock? thx
