Hey Guys,

Went out and picked up Kim's ram from last November. I ended up watching Dave do all the work on this ram from start to finish and helped out with the alteration to make the neck turn a bit more than the standard form. I think it turned out great with the slight turn and I learned a lot.

The mount is simply awesome. Dave does some amazing work and I'm happy to be learning from such a talented taxidermist. This ram has such LONG hair and just looks like a true November ram.

He has a weird hair defect from an injury or disease right on his nose that makes his nose look like it has a bit of a bump on it. We left it as is as its just what he looked like in the field as well.

Looking head-on

Very nice work. Personally I am not a big fan of shoulder mounts but I do enjoy looking at quality taxidermy work.

Very nice looking mount, he must be proud. I must have missed your post, Cadomin is an amazing place to see bighorns.
