Got my desert bighorn mount

[Gr8bawana]

Great trophy! I'm hoping to someday get to hunt desert bighorn here in NV. I've got 9 bonus points now so maybe i'll draw
a tag before i'm too old to climb those mountains. Good thing is I live about 30 minutes from the area I apply for.

Congratulations on an incredible mount. It really does your trophy justice.

Very creative piece, I really like it. Nice ram too.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Congrats on a fine ram. That desert is the last for my slam. Hopefully, someday.

I saw a list of people who need one more sheep for the slam. About 95% of them need the desert. I still can't believe how blessed I was to draw that tag for my first sheep hunt. Crazy

Looking through some threads, and as a lover of quality taxidermy work, I had to comment after coming across this one.

All I can say is not only is that a beautiful animal, but also a great mount. Your taxidermist did an incredible job!

Thanks. Jerry Huffaker is a talented fella. He has this mount back right now, in fact. After winning the national taxidermy show last year with it, he got invited to the world show next weekend. I've got my fingers crossed for him - mostly so he'll be able to carry the mount to Springfield, MO and back without anything happening to it!! LOL But I hope he does well in the show too.

Beautiful mount that really does that old ram justice. He deserved to be cared for like you have done with him and honored him with that piece. Like you said, the memories are priceless. Congratulations.

I believe Jerry just won the Best in World Medium/Small Gamehead at the 2015 World Taxidermy Show with that mount.

Yessir. What an incredible honor it is for Jerry too. Jerry texted me the news the morning after the show. When he came back into town the next day with my sheep in his trailer, I met him at my office so he could unload it. He told me more about the World Show. I didn't realize that they don't give out a Best In World award every year. He said that they have given out that award about 10 times since the early 70s when the show was first held. They have a scoring system that they use. In order to even be considered for an award, a mount has to score above a certain threshold first. Most years, the best mount in the show doesn't score high enough for an award to be given, apparently. Jerry's mount was good enough to be awarded. That's one heck of an accomplishment. Jerry told me that it wasn't that big of a deal, as the taxidermy world is relatively small. He said it's not like being best in the world in some other field where there is a lot more competition.

My reply to that was, "BULL CRAP, brother! Best in the freakin' world is pretty dadgum good!"
