Here's a Kuban Tur mount we just finished up on a custom rock base. This ram was killed in the Caucus region of Russia in the month August.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

zhabaHi Jim fantastic job. I am looking to mount my tur from Azerbiajan soon and was struggling to find a form. Could you let me know what form this is or did you make it yourself?? thanks

Jim KellyZhaba,
This mannikin will not work for a Dagestan Tur, it's way too big! Dagestan Tur fit much better on a Desert Bighorn mannikin with the leg length altered. If you go to the Asia hunting section you can see the Dagestan Tur we just finished and Marco Polo. I guess I posted the photos in the wrong place. There are no taxidermy supply Co that make any life size turs so what ever you choose would have to be altered.
If I can be of any help call me (908)284-0778
