Sheep mount

[Oak]

I finally got the time to make the 700 mile round trip to pick up a few mounts at the taxidermist yesterday,
including my sheep mount. I thought I'd post a few pictures. It's a bit different, and I can see how some people
might not like the style, but I love it. His lower lip was really scarred up but we left it as-is, which is visible
in the photos.

Beautiful. Pedestals are definitely one of my favorite styles.

I don't usually comment on mounts, but, DAMN! That is beautiful!!!! That is the whitest white I have ever seen.

Stellar mount! I'm guessing you didn't make the trip for a single mount though. Where are the rest?

 

[JoseCuervo]

That is beautiful, and by the looks of it, it was well worth you selling all the rest of the furniture in the house just to get that mount.....

I can like that!

That's a great white sheep mount Oak. Nicely thought out. Was there much trouble getting the blood out?

That is the finest looking sheep mount I have seen. I would love to have it in my home. Congratulations

I thought so. I think my wife agrees, too?

He spent quite a bit of time to get the blood and glacier grit out of it. He used some kind of conditioner on it, several times.

Not everything was done, but I picked up some run-of-the-mill shoulder mounts. An average pronghorn:

A Sitka BT with milk on his chin:

And an average mule deer:

 

[JoseCuervo]

Can I come hang out with you and hunt for "average mule deer"????

they all look good.

 

[guppie9]

Geez, all those mounts are as bad as those substandard pictures you posted on the other thread. Again, you should be ashamed of yourself for posting these.

 

[Moosie]

It would have looked better Full mount or... 1/2 mount coming of of a rock cliff..... But, Whatever

 

[T Bone]

All look like real good clean mounts. Who does your work?

T Bone, my buddy Doug that guided me on my sheep hunt is a taxidermist. He mostly does fish for customers, but does his own big game and some for friends. He's got a partner in his shop that does big game. I had Doug do the sheep and deer, and his partner Steve Marrou (Outdoor Creations) do the antelope and elk (which is not done).
