Ram is home from the Taxidermist!!!!
Brought my Ram home Friday and hung him up this morning!
I cannot be happier, this guy looks like he could spring
off the wall and bang your head right in the living room.
Al Bohms of Elk City Taxidermy (Near Toledo) did the work.
Nothing leaves his shop unless it's perfect. His Blacktails
are nothing less than amazing, he doesn't strive for a nice
mount he goes for best of show every time. Yes I'm giving
him a plug and he deserves it. Check out the photo's!
For those that may not remember he came off "Abert Rim".
This is him and 3 of his new best friends!

Re: Ram is home from the Taxidermist!!!!
Great start on a "trophy room!" Never hunted sheep myself, but I'd sure love to, and an animal like yours would suit me just fine.

Re: Ram is home from the Taxidermist!!!!
That mount looks great Terdog! I bet he will fit right in at home with his "friends." That sure is a nice living room...... one every hunter would dream of

Re: Ram is home from the Taxidermist!!!!
Looks mighty fine Terry! Hope you still have room for a rutted up mule buck on the the Wall of Fame. 
I've saved a spot for my bighorn mount when I get it.

Re: Ram is home from the Taxidermist!!!!
Yeh the elk is nice but I think the ram would get the fireplace spot in my home. Great Ram.

Not to change the subject but when I got my sheep back the Taxidermist told me that the temperature change and moisture in a garage will shorten the life of your mount. He told me to only mount inside. Maybe he just wanted to make sure people saw his work.

Re: Ram is home from the Taxidermist!!!!
Soos,
Good luck filling up that house!!!!!!
Not a bad guess on the buck, he's an archery kill 122 6/8 gross!!!!
I do have space saved for a Muley!! Finger crossed in two weeks!!!!
As for the Bear, Cougar and goat!! Hopefully in time they will come
my way!!!!
Thanks everyone!

Re: Ram is home from the Taxidermist!!!!
Nice ram Terry, I saw it in Al's shop. What some may not know is he built a new house so he had wall space for the ram.
