TAM Report post Posted April 30, 2011 After more than 5 years since I killed my first lion I was able to hang this on my wall today.... and I love it!!! After loosing my first lion (a story that many of you know that I'm not going to get back into right now) I had the good fortune of taking another nice cat with the help of my friend Randy Epperson. This second cat was mounted by Marc Plunkett and it looks great! Thank you Randy and Marc for putting my crushed dream back together. HAPpy ending to this lion hunt!!!

TAM Report post Posted April 30, 2011 What did you ever do with the "Pink Panther" lion? The Pink Panther was taken to another taxidermist here in town that was going to try and re-mount him. However after the hide was soaked off the form and through no fault of his own, the hair slipped and it was a total loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
