Here's a picture of a lion I shot this year in Feb. I just finished mounting it yesterday.

Cool looking mount!

Great mount. Did you say that you did that yourself? If so, you did a excellent job.

Yes, I've been doing taxidermy for about 24 years now. I wanted to capture that 'look' you get from many lions when they are in the tree.

Very Nice! I love the "look".

You have some nice pics, and your work looks great! Are the Mule Deer yours?

The Black Bear attack is just gruesome.

Thanks for sharing.

FullCryHounds,

I just went through your album,looks like you have some awesome memories in it.

That photo of the dog's and the lion on the cliff that's tittled "Full Cry" is FREEKIN' AWESOME!!!! I have never been into hound hunting much at all but lately I have been wanting to go on a lion hunt,and photo's like that one make the desire evn stronger.

Looks good! Just personal preference, but open mouthed, snarling predator mounts have always looked too dramatic to me and not very realistic. I much prefer mounts in more natural poses similar to yours. You do good work!

Thanks Kevin, I totally agree with you, the wide open mouth has never apealed to me either. Only on rare occasions.

The lion in the picture "Full Cry" looked pretty natural snarling.
