Here is a lifesized dall sheep that I did for a fellow AO member and long time friend of mine. My first ever sheep head I did was a great Alberta Big Horn that he trusted me to do. About 2 years ago, his home was lost in a fire including his Bighorn Ram and several other mounts.

A guide heard about his misfortune and offered him a Mountain Goat hunt and his cousin paid for the sheep add on in this hunt.

I got the call on his return trip home asking me to do a lifesized mountain goat mount and the opportunity to do my first life sized sheep....another first for him and I and here he is. His Dall is very heavy and a beautiful ram.

Great to see him and his wife and family rebuilding their lives and was honored to place the first 2 new mounts in his new home.

You are one talented artist!! :sHa_shakeshout:

Now I need to go cry in the corner wanting to go on a Dall Sheep hunt, knowing it will probably never happen unless Lotto Max follows thru someday.:budo:

Should of moved to the Yukon for a few years back when I was younger-could of worked up there. Mind you, I did would there a few times but was an Alberta Resident. Oh well.

Yes i would have to say the same AMAZING! work. I am heading north for a goat and stone sheep hunt this year. If fortunate to take a Ram i would be honored for you to do the work on it. You have done some very impressive mounts that i have seen and for a trophy of a life time its well worth it great gob Marco.
