My Lion...mount is ready

[grayghost]

Last May I traveled to the Kalahari to hunt African Lion. Mount is ready to ship.
Good work by Lifeform Taxidermy White River, Mpumalanga, RSA.

Beautiful!!! thanks for sharing. I am curious as to how much it cost to do that, although I know it is none of my business. God bless.

Thanks fella's. Cost....in Africa you can get it done for under $4,000 by one of the best studio's. However, Caveat Emptor! Many will not deliver a quality mount; a few can and will. In the US, expect to pay $5,500-$7,500 for some of the better studio's. Good thing about using a US Taxidermist: you can physically examine their work ahead of time; watch it's progress and request changes in person. This is generally the best route for anyone who lacks a Taxidermy background. I spent 17 years as a professional Taxidermist. That does help a lot when choosing someone else to do my work. I generally use guys from the States.
Good hunting,

Great looking mount. You must have a pretty big place to put it.

It really does look impressive.
Out of interest, what's the situation with lion tags in Africa?
I would like to hunt Cape buffalo and plains game but I've never really wanted to hunt the big cats myself or other Big 5 animals.
However I'm interested to know the process by which they allow lions to be hunted.
Are they identified for hunting like a lot of pest elephant apparently are?
Were you hunting in Tanzania or elsewhere?
