Full body mounts

[Ridge Runner]

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.

Thanks, waterfowl have been a passion since I was a little kid.

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.

I hunted a few days for dove and waterfowl ended up killing around 10 bird species absolute blast

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.

This is my lion from my 2015 safari. I did not mount it.

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.
