So I did guided hunt with Mike McKinney last year in teralingua. I had a blast on the mountain and God graced me with the luck of harvesting this great ram. He had previous bullet holes from past hunt and no longer used his right leg. But by no means did he give up. I found him at the very top of the mountain with a herd of his ladies all around him. I shot him in the morning got him off the mountain and drove straight back 10 hours straight to my taxidermist. So I never really got to enjoy what a true trophy he is. I finally picked him up a few days ago and could not be happier. Thanks to Mike for setting this up, my guide Chris Leland for putting the time and effort in to guide me and my taxidermist nathial at nontypical taxidermy for making this trophy last for ever.

Thanks I was gonna just do a typical shoulder mount but if you look closely you can see the bullet scars in his shoulder and neck. Had one more in his lower leg. Under his chaps. I found fragments in all three spots. So I decided he needed his warrior scars showed off. That hoof that is bent up is really long and misshaped where he had not stepped on it in atleast a year or two.

I love that mount, and the character it has from the previous injuries. Pretty tough sheep!

Wonderful mount, and a character-filled old warrior. True trophy sir, congrats!
I have a Scimitar bull on my wall who's cape (and the resulting mount) is full of big scars and patches missing hair. Taxi asked if I wanted to look for a different cape and I said no freakin' way! Love the old brawlers.

They really are tough. The neck shot must have just been on a steep angle for miss his spine but the shoulder shot looked like decent enough placement to put him down. Only thought was a smaller caliber lacking the penetration power. but def a pretty good representation of why you rifle should match your animal your chasing. Of course shot placement is key with any weapon.

Cool mount on a great ram.
