Congrats Charlie, the photo plaque looks great! I just received my CITIES import permit this week, but everyone in Namibia, including my shipping agent, is "on holiday" until January 9. Already have the Namibian export cert, so they should be able to ship when they get back to work. My taxidermist in Iowa is an SCI measures, so I can only hope my cat scores anywhere close to the monster you took! Mike from Lacona, Iowa.

Charlie so proud of you and your awesome leopard!!!

Two years later I still remember those trackers putting this beast up on my shoulders

 

[Firebird]

I love that picture, the head in neck on your cat are massive! I hope you can always remember that moment

 

[Fatback]

And what a fine beast it is. Certainly an animal and accomplishment to be proud of.

The pictures above are the taxidermy studio of Jim Guist, Totally Awesome Taxidermy, Billings Missouri the day my friend David and I picked up the trophy. And the cat in the U-Haul trailer.

I haven’t been able to post pictures to the site in over a year and we couldn’t figure out why. Well I bought a new IPAD and now I can load pictures. Go figure!

@CAustin,

That’s an awesome mount of a GREAT cat and a wonderful way to remember your hunt. Thanks for sharing.

 

[CAustin]

Two toes in his final home in the man cave!
