Default 1st Ram home and hanging!!

So happy with Brian from artistic taxidermy! Great guy and great work!

Found a perfect spot for him!

I am sure people will ask. The wound on his nose was from a fight with another Ram before I shot him!

Congrats on a beautiful animal and on displaying him proudly above the fireplace.

Curious: did you witness him fighting before you shot him?

No I wish I had! But when I took him in that was the explanation my taxidermist gave me. I figured as much myself but he said he’s seen it before.

I witnessed it once up close too! There is nothing like it, the noise of the horns cracking. You never forget that sound. Again, congrats on a hard earned Ram!

Nice ram and nicely mounted. Looks good over the fireplace. Just wondering if the heat from a fireplace will affect the cape? Maybe your taxidermist could answer that.

A very big congratulations to you. I’m still on the search for my first ram, and undoubtedly Brian will be doing it if I ever succeed

Love the rock behind, and how the light changes his colour on his cape.

Congrats on a beauty!
