The detail is incredible, makes a person want to go hunt one down or at least see them in person.

Stunning mount... love the habitat, it takes a typical pedestal really to another level

Beautiful animal, maybe the best trophy in the world. If I was younger may give them a try

Wow! Stunning work. Great choice of wood and habitat as well.Marco Polo Taxidermy / Kyrgyzstan from my friend Mr Kay's camp for a client in Virginia.

Very nice!
Great mount, great concept, hate the lichen growing inside the back shoulder. Were it mine, I would specify simple tan suede or something. Also below. I love the concept of resting on the broken horn and maybe could be persuaded with regard to the rocks - but all the snow and lichen at some point starts to overwhelm what is otherwise a very life-like work. It becomes what the viewer registers first rather than accentuating an incredible ram. At least to me. Look at the third picture down - simple and dramatic! That sitting on a hardwood pedestal would be best of show. And please understand, I am offering purely what I hope is constructive feedback to a professional who clearly knows what he is doing.

If you've been marco polo hunting that's all you see is SNOW ! lol
The back can be done anyway you want, simple backing as always is not an issue we do it all the time. The mount gets viewed from pic 3 and then when you walk around it you get the full effect....
I do what the client wants and that's what GREAT
I don't have to do the same thing everyday cookie cutter way.
The cut in the back and habitat if you saw it it would make you scratch your head how a 65b marco polo shoulder per can be supported with no visible contemporary support of a pin.....lol The rock work goes about 1 1/2 feet into his neck all hollow....

Very stunning work Dennis.... I respect Joe's opinion on most things, but I think @Red Leg just has an over zealous hatred of snow in general
Fantastic shoulder mount, but personally I think if I had a Marco Polo and had spent the money and considerable effort for that hunt, I would be seriously tempted to just go all the way and do a full mount
