Leopard Back From Zambia

[Huntforever]

I leopard just arrived from Zambia. Now, is the time for very important decisions. Open mouth or snarled open mouth or closed. Which pose as well. I would love to see pictures of personal leopard mounts or ones you saw and really liked.

Here’s my top choices so far.

My eyes always gravitate towards the open mouth snarling pose on leopard taxidermy, so that's my vote. Of the pics you posted, this one really caught my eye. It looks like you took 3 pics of that same cat.

I’m leaning towards the open mouth snarling as well but trying to decide on the pose and pedestal vs natural tree limbs ans etc

Which taxidermist are you going with?

I have the "panting mouth" on mine.

Let's see some pictures of your Leopard!

I’m going with the closed mount for my leopard. Like this.

I like the two, top right and second one below top right. The one on the rocks and the one on the limb with white background.

Very Good Options!!

Big one!! Did you weigh him or measure the skull??

 

[Huntforever]

Haven’t measured the skull yet. We guessed the weigh which is difficult but we guessed 170lbs give or take. It took everything I had to lift him up. I’ve packed out moose and elk a number of times and they didn’t compare to the cat.

I prefer either a closed mouth or slack jawed. I’m not a real big fan of snarling myself, but that’s just me. I should have a leopard back soon from Tanzania and will most likely mount it slack jawed.

I just realized that you shot it with a bow, that's incredible, great job

Cool nerves for sure

Beautiful Cat!!

I don’t like the open mouth or the snarl, maybe because I’m a dentist and can’t get over the fake teeth And plastic tongue etc

The snarl is also too much negative energy. To see that mean face every day no thanks.

I really like the natural look of a relaxed cat. I guess I need to finally kill a leopard to choose how I want mine mounted
