Jim KellyNice job!! We just received one back from the tannery and we're getting ready to soak it up and start the job. The last one we did was in very poor condition but this one is in great shape and is a GIANT ram. Your client should be very happy!

Thanks for the kind words. This ram had a HUGE bullet hole in the neck and the entire neck was blood stained very bad. The face also had a huge scar and was rock cut completely across the center of the bridge of the nose and the face was beat up and blood stained bad. It was a extreme challenge and made a very difficult mount to make it all right. Hunters PLEASE note that it is OK to wash the blood out out of the hair in the field and PLEASE do! This esp. goes for white haired animals.

LittleJoeSimply stunning and beautiful.
I will never be able to hunt them but I sure enjoy looking at them when they turn out like that.
Excellent.
