Mountain Lion Taxidermists

[hskrhntr]

Heading to Utah in a couple weeks on a lion hunt. Want to do a full body if I get a good tom. Looking for taxidermist recommendations. I live in Nebraska so anyone in Utah, northern Colorado, Wyoming or western Nebraska would be an easy stop on the way home. Thanks!

I'd say the best is Phil Soucy in Montana. Another one who gets some praise is Big Cat taxidermy in Colorado. I don't particularly like the faces of the lions the guy in Colorado puts out though.

Whatever you do, please make sure you look at any taxidermist's work before you choose. The alteration of the form, the eyes, and facial detail is what makes or breaks a lion mount.

Cliff Carney at non typical taxidermy in delta CO did my sons and has mine right now. I was super pleased with his work. Great people to deal with. Got my sons back in 8 months. Killed mine this year beginning of Dec and I’ll pick it up in November when I’m in CO for a mule deer hunt.

my hound buddy in Utah says Phil is the best in the world with lions.

I have mine at Life Like Taxidermy in N. Idaho. They specialize in Cat's and have done some really nice one's.

Branden O'Hare in Omaha does cats incredibly well.

Todd at Master Piece Taxidermy in Blue Hill Nebraska is a multi division world champion. He has plenty of work hanging in Cabelas. He did one cat for me and it turned out better than perfect. The face is absolutely life like and the posture looks alive. He isn't cheap, but he is the absolute best that I have seen.
