I think you made a great choices, starting with the ram you decided to shoot, the taxidermist you chose to mount it and the style of mount. You are very fortunate! Your taxidermist is a true artist!I really debated about a full body mount. I hated to not have it done, but I really don't have room for one. I sure didn't want to have to add on a trophy room to the house just to have a place to put it.But I sure didn't want just a regular shoulder mount either. This was my "best of both worlds" idea. Jerry really did a great job on it. I think I actually like it better than a full body mount anyway.
