Default Predators (Alaskan Brown Bear, black bear, grizzly, cougar, leopard, hyena's), and some other animals to round it all up
Just finished off a bunch of animals and got professional photos done up......here we go.

Alaskan Brown Bear.......hide was rubbed up pretty good but what a bear. He broke my mounting cradle while we were stitching him up.







This is an interior B.C. Grizzly bear.....beautiful hide on him.



This is a black bear that I did for a young lady from Lloydminster



a nice cougar with some of the nicest color markings to its face that I have seen.





This is the first leopard that I have ever done......without question, one of the prettiest animals in the world and one of my most favorite mounts that I have ever done.

First hyenas I have ever done





an Argentina Black Buck.....the hair on the animal feels just like silk......crazy beautiful little antelope





An early season bighorn ram done for a fellow AO member.





A mountain caribou pedestal mount.





The first mount that I have done for myself in probably 5 years.....just needed to get him done so the skull wouldn't get damaged on the floor of the studio. Skull is not whitened as I wanted the look of this to be of a pickup found in the muskeg.....little bit of water in the habitat.



And the last is a larger bull moose.....there are some neat things that can be done with these skulls to really add to a hunters trophy room. This skull is detachable from the base as the size of the rack would make transport of the mount abit of a challenge.




Thanks for taking the time to look at these mounts.........Marco

When I think your work can't get any better, you seem to one up yourself. Beautiful work Marco!

You are an artist my friend. Very nice work! I especially like the hyenas, for your first time with them, you definitely nailed it. They actually look alive to me. I also really like what you have done with the moose skulls. Beautiful!

Love that Caribou mount. The last pic of the European moose mounted on the rock is very cool. Never seen a euro done like that

The mounts look good enough to shoot again.

All those mounts look amazing. They need a magazine just for taxidermy pictures.

Default Awww nutts!
I am heading off to Argentina in a month and blackbuck is on the list. I would have been satisfied with a shoulder mount until I saw that lifesize!
