Thanks Eric, now what about your beautiful cat? You have your cities permit yet? What about taxidermy? Who’s doing it and what are your plans for position of the cat?

That's going to look fantastic, Johnny. I look forward to seeing the finished product as well. My leopard mount is one of my most prized.

Looks great, not easy to do a cat.
I think this is what separates great taxidermists from the average.

Correct Wayne, soon as I saw it I contacted them. Also asked if they could adjust the position of the dik dik to show the face more.

Thanks guys, just got off the phone with them and requested the place the dik dik head on top of the rocks to see it better. Hopefully we’re not too late. Going to call me back. I know they want to show it but I want to be happy first
Looks awesome however the dik dik is displayed. As you well know, finding someone who can do a cat competently is important and difficult. You have obviously hit a home run with these guys. I checked with my guys in Pennsylvania, and they compete with them annually. Nothing but good words about the quality of their work. That is going to be a mount truly worthy of two exceptional animals.
Figured out where he is going yet?

I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
