[sheephunter17]

beutiful what did it age?

well according to fish and wildlife they couldnt tell past 7 so thats what they aged him at!! But any one with a set of eyeballs can see hes a bit more than that:-D. Around 10-12 is what most guys are guessing.

[6616]

A beautiful mount and a really great ram..!

[bridger]

WOW!! very nice. congrats

[Brew]

Thats is one amazing animal and one amazing mount. Way to go.

[griz325]

thats a super mount the pedistal and base look awsome great job

[Kody94]

That sure is a dandy ram. You have honored it well with a mount like that. Could look at it all day, every day. :)

I really like the pedestal...did you taxi build it, or did he get someone else too? I've got a rectangular pedestal under my ram, but really wanted one more like that.

[BCHunterTV]

what a mount!

[srupp]

DAMN! THAtS AWESOME!!Mizmoriising...and certainly over 7 years...

Kody94...I was working on a dessign for a pedastal mount octagon..

however the panels will be a bit bigger, still "rail and style " but the inside of the front 3 panels will be lazer engraved with 3 photos of the harvest..the machine I use is $100,000 and does incredible detail..

BUT that is once in a lifetime ram..and the presentation does do it justice..the package is perfect.

regards

Steven

That sounds awesome Steven. The best part of my pedestal is the pen and ink drawing that was done on the cabinet door, of a photo I had of my ram before it was harvested...its fantastic, and turns the pedestal into a work of art in its own right. The laser engraved pictures would have a similar effect though and definitely customize the base to the trophy. Would love to see pics when you get it done.

Couldn't count past 7 :confused:...and we tought our CI's were bad...I can easily see 10, but would guess it is most likely 11.

Great mount!! I am sure I already cogradulated you on the sheep itself back when you posted the original story!

sheephunter???? someone is gonna be flattered all to heck when he finds out.....:wink:.

that coal dust sure makes horns dark.....but i dont understand why the cape is so light? did the other guy get the original cape for his replica? the contrast is pretty cool.

[Manglinmike]

So many times on this forum I read a thread that says "just got my mount back and it looks great"you scroll down and have a look and find yourself wondering where the poster gets his beer googles from!! However that ram of yours has to be some of the nicest work that I have ever seen,the pic quality is outstanding and that is truly a trophy among trophys---congraulations.

[Brett]

That is some great work, congrats on the trophy!!
