Sheep mounts and Taxidermist

[EastMT]

It amazes me how much bigger wild sheep are than what I've always thought.

No kidding! I went on a solo ewe bighorn hunt. I was thinking 50lbs for the pack out. I was off a touch, she was a fatty!

My taxidermist in Alberta is one of the best I've seen, but he is by referral only. I did the rock work up to my liking.

Fur and Feather (south Anchorage hillside), has been getting all of our business for the last 20 years now and I couldn’t be happier….actually, if he didn’t charge me, that would make me happier.

Dan Foster out of Wasilla AK has done all my sheep. The one far left is a pedestal form that's cut to wall mount.

I've enjoy looking at all of these mounts, so I figured I better add a photo of one of mine as well. Wildlife Revolutions in Reno, NV, did this '18 ram for me. I couldn't be happier.

That is an old cranker of a ram mounted beautifully. Damn…

Probably only going to have the chance to hunt bighorns once in my life, so decided to get the taxidermy done right. Dewey Wildlife in Cody WY. Horns on mount are a reproduction made by Jenny at Wyo Backcountry Decor also of Cody WY.

In my eyes both companies did an outstanding job with my animal, and their customer service was top notch!

Not the biggest ram you will see here, but their work really brings him to life. Most importantly I relive the hunt everytime I step into the room. What an adventure!

As stated above, which ever way you go, get the real skull done in European. It is so cool to hold it in your hands.

Wow absolutely beautiful mount, how much did it set you back, AND how long did it take, if you don’t mind

How did that pickup conversation go? I think the same guy did a pair of snow geese for me...

It's amazing how much better your second looks.

Hope ya'll don't mind some "exotics"... don't mind the dust, we're doing some renovating:


Painted desert ram by my local guy.


Mouflon by my former deer guy (now retired, Parkinson's disease took him out of the game).

I decided to have my sheep on a pedestal mount. I wanted people to be able to see up close and touch the horns. It is on a pole so I can rotate the mount. I can change it to a shoulder mount if I can my mind.
My dog is still not sure about the addition to the pack.
My taxidermist made some artificial rocks for the pedestal. I wish I would have thought to sneak about 10 lbs of actual rocks from the mountain into my guide’s pack.

I've had all mine stuff done by Garry Senk Taxidermy Studio:

I just got my 2020 <1 Club pedestal mount back from Dewey Wildlife Studio. I had the replicas from Wyo Backcountry Decor put on it and kept the skull/horns as is. They did a fantastic job. You can't even tell he had a huge gash on the bridge of his nose. Both companies were fantastic to deal with and can call them friends.

Monarch Taxidermy does almost all my work as they are located here locally, they do very good work and it is very convenient for me.

If they weren't, I'd probably lean toward Dewey Wildlife Studios for sure. Their work is the best in the business in my humble opinion.

Instead of getting my first ram mounted, I had a horn carved by Tom Cooper down on the Kenai.
Cost me $700 in 1995....

This looks really similar to the carving that is the background of Nick Muche's post #47, same artist maybe?
