Bighorn Sheep Skull & Display

[flatwater bill]

@chuckwellington One of the nicest rams I've seen taken out of the FCW in a while. Congrats to you (and your helpers)...the logistics of that hunt is a challenge that you obviously enjoyed and met. Love that display. Now, you're ready for a second Idaho Bighorn in the Owyhees....FWB

Excellent work and congratulations on a great ram

Outstanding mount! Great job putting it together. That looks better to be than a lot of shoulder sheep mounts I have seen.

You got the inside track? Haha

I like it! But then again, I prefer skulls over mounts.

Fantastic. You did a great job.

Fantastic accomplishment and great job with the skull/horns. Is that ram 9 yrs old?

Thanks. The outfitter aged him at 9 or 10 if I remember correctly. I think it’s in my notes. However, the biologist when I checked him in only gave him 6 years.

Based on what I know about sheep, I’m going with the outfitter on this one.

The Idaho Sheep Biologist is a great gardener. Loves his plants. Knows them very well. @chuckwellington Getting the California Bighorn tag in the Owyhees would probably be a disappointment to you after the great hunt you just had. Requires a 2 year wait, but, hey....go for it. As for having the "inside track" that would make my hunting buddies laugh. Until recently, I had put in 234 conseq applications for special hunts without ONE hit. The probability of this was less than 1 in 2 billion. So, no......do not even let me TOUCH your application...............FWB

Good choice. I'm certain he wasn't 6. Still a great accomplishment!

Great looking taxidermy and congrats on the hunt. They would be a bucket list hunt for a lot of people.
