Big Horn Sheep Taxidermy Mount

[gizmo]

This Rocky Mountain Big Horn came in from a DIY archery hunt. The owner told me it went #9 P&Y which is quite the accomplishment on a DIY hunt. That being said any free range archery big horn is a heckava accomplishment.
Anyway, I took a run of the mil 1/2 body bighorn form, moved a few things around and changed the stance a bit, then I took a rock sheet and built the custom rock. The owner wanted something custom and nice but not too overdone but that would complement the sheep well in a winter habitat scene.

Thank y’all very much, I appreciate all the compliments. It was a lot of work rearranging sheep parts and resculpting him that stance but I think it was well worth it!

Were you at DSC. Just realized I missed seeing you.

No sir I stayed home this year, I had too much going on with guiding hunts and everything else to sneak away.

Did he fall off a cliff? Those horns are really broken up.

I don’t believe so, that’s the way he was when the guy brought him to me. From my understanding it was an early season hunt at relatively low altitude but that’s about all I know.
