You gotta figure a guy like KES should be able to jump the line. A couple more seasons like the one he just had and his taxidermist will be able to retire early. Simple 80/20 rule. Take care of the 20% of your customers that give you 80% of your revenue.

All kidding aside - great Stone and an awesome job on the mount! Well done and thanks for posting.

Not a matter of any special treatment, the ram will get a ride home to KES from the show and save shipping it and taking
any chances. The mounts that I am doing for PG66 will get personal delivery service ( gotta see the porch )
I donated a 1/2 lifesize mount to WSSOBC for the fundraiser and this mount will help to advertise the work that
we try to do and hopefully bring in some bucks for the sheep

You do some very fine work, Wild Images. I hope the fundraiser goes well and that you get some well deserved business out if it. I was completely kidding about special treatment for KES. It was a backhanded compliment to him for such a great season.

Incredible job Ken! So pumped to see it in person...it's looking like I might make it to the convention after all.


A couple more seasons like the one he just had and his taxidermist will be able to retire early.
With the amount of money that I'm banking as a student right now, I don't think Ken will be banking on me for early retirement anytime soon!

Sure like those later season rams.

You're going to have to tell KES if he sleeps with the mount, like he did when he had the horns, you won't be able to restore it to its original condition.

Hahaha I think the picture you might be referring to is me sleeping with the horns from a 175" Dall sheep.

I don't know much about aging sheep but would I be right if I said that ram was 9 1/2 or 10 1/2 years old ?
