Default Ram mount finished

One of the guys in our group was lucky enough to harvest a Ram last year. The mount has arrived and I couldn't be more happy. I will take better pictures later, but for now a cellphone picture will suffice.

A big thank you to Shane Laye from Rangeline Taxidermy.

Eye shape looks a bit strange and not sure if it's the pic, but does the black on its nose and lips seem like it extends too far into the white regions? Any ram is a trophy, congrats, just being particular

Your buddy shot it and you have the mount?

Not at all actually, just my comments on a bad mount, someday you will figure it out . Decent ram, sub par taxi work

Great Ram. Beauty color. I'm sure there's a sweet story behind it. Congrats.

Great buck and nice find, get him registered as said, touched up Color wise and do a beauty euro mount for him with some homestead wood he may recognize and don't worry about any paper work, surprise him with a plaque with his name, date and score and a pic of you and his grandson as posted and he will love it ! Congrats on a nice find

Pleased because he was part of the hunt and he has emotional attachment to the ram/mount I would think. Similar to the way we feel when we help our friends harvest trophy animals. STOP the witch hunt ladies. Thanks for posting Buck! Seems to take balls to post due to the peanut gallery. Congrats to your group!!

Great ram, congrats to your group. It's awesome when a team effort pays off.

Here's a pic of my twin brother's ram from 2015. There were 4 of us working together to get him. My brother pulled the trigger, but each of us played a big part and wouldn't have had a chance at him had it not been for the rest of the team. Gotta say that I'm as proud of my bro's ram as I would be if he were my own! Same team work helped us to an opening day double in 2014.

Here's to celebrating each other's success! Can't wait to hit the hills in August..

Dave

Awesome looking rams. Would love to know what they aged them at Buck and Dave. Look like older rams, full curl, 8-9 years?

Ours was aged at 9. Counting rings it looks to be 9 1/2. He's 2" past full curl but still had his lamb tips

Great looking sheep, I lost my Big horn to the fire this year. Planning a couple trips this fall to try and get a replacement.
