WildHeritageTaxidermy Report post Posted July 25, 2011 Here are some photos from the show. I decided last minute to take the Mountain Lion Pedestal mount from the ATAA show, to Sioux Falls, SD for the National Taxidermy Competition. After 22 hours of driving and 3 days of waiting I was thrilled to see I received a 1st Place ribbon in the Gamehead Division. I took some pictures of some of the other mounts, thought you all might like them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

izquik72 Report post Posted July 27, 2011 Some of those african lions are pretty intimidating. I really like the bobcat mount with the kittens. Is that one cat sitting in the tree the "AZ Jaguar" Marc Plunkett did for Az G&F? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildHeritageTaxidermy Report post Posted July 27, 2011 To my knowledge Mark Plunkett did not have a mount at the National Show in South Dakota. The leopard on the branch, was mounted by Bill Neuman, I believe he is from MN. Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

izquik72 Report post Posted July 27, 2011 Ok I just saw a size difference in the Leopard walking on the log and the one sitting in the tree. I assumed it was a Jaguar. Anyhow... Very nice mounts congrats on yet another show winner! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
