In search of a bighorn sheep skull to buy.

[Cubby]

You come on a hunting forum and are a new guy that is asking for someone's trophy, seems way to fishy to me. Just google antler buyers and start calling them you'll have way more luck then asking on here.

Call steve Sorenson 435-245-3497 he is an antler buyer out of Utah and just built a massive sheep enclosure for a wild sheep nursery. He'll know who to talk to. @antlerbuyer1976 on Instagram

I'm guessing the tone of the conversation changes if you respond "I'm a middle school art teacher" vs "I'm a career special agent with USFWS OLE." Does that make sense?

I work at home depot as lumber recovery... nothing too fancy.

I am curious what one would do with a 180" sheep skull and horns they didn't kill? Can you enlighten the curious ones what they will be used for?

And also why it needs to be real.

Proof of what i do for a living? Why is that imortant?

Have photos of this possible skull?

I'd want to make sure you want it for yourself, and not trying to turn it for a profit, as well possible entrapment. People can choose who they sell stuff to ya know.....

Yeah I think it's pretty obvious he is either a scammer or a troll

No profit or entrapment... not a scammer or a troll, either.

I collect skulls as a hobby. Nothing fancy.

I might be way off base, but something just doesn’t add up here.

Why does it have to be real?
Why does it have to be 180”+?
What’s the actual reason for wanting it?

For how hard, and expensive, a bighorn sheep of that size is to come by, I can’t imagine it’s very economical for the guy that’s in charge of a Home Depot lumber yard to purchase it.

Like I said, I might be wayyyy off base here but something just seems fishy.

You may get lucky and find one at an estate sale. Old hunter passes away and all the trophies are liquidated.

Call around for auctioneers of taxidermy

Lets see your collect with a note written saying "not a FED.Tikkas are garbage, and........223s aren't for big game"

I would love a 180" ram......real skull and horns. I mean, who wouldn't? Are these real questions? But I wouldn't pay any money for them.

I can't imagine selling a Sheep head. The blood ,sweat ,and tears ,time and money invested in earning a Sheep put them into "never for sale category" for me.

My man cave is full of shoulder mounts and shed antlers that I would never sell. But when I'm 6' under, I'm pretty sure my wife will be happy to sell them for $.10 on the $1.00.

I get the tricky dynamics involved when dealing with anything sheep related, but dang some of you are harsh right away on new members and assume everything has to involve a tinfoil hat. I will vouch that George is not a scammer

 

[Afhunter1]

I’ll keep an eye out for a dead head for you when I go walk in my canyon today

Call California Fish and Game. They probably have a solid lamb for sale.

I supplied my phone number so anyone of you can call or text about any of this sheep business... i do work for home depot... im not a fed or a scammer... i am about ready to retire from the Army NG, though and move back home to Missouri... ive had 4 sheep skulls at one time... sold 3 a few years back to pay some bills, still have a yukon stone skull though... i mainly have longhorn skulls and ive been collecting skulls since 1991... i used to hunt while in missouri... never hunted in florida... deer are alil small around here. Whats wrong with wanting a real 180 inch?... 3500 for a skull vs what... 60k for a hunt. Alil bit of a difference in price... jus sayin...
