You have a knack for writing up your hunts! You should write a book. You could title it, “Living the Dream.” Congrats on another successful sheep hunt!
Congrats to all involved - great bull! I especially liked your description of the extended family dynamics as the outing got more intense. I've been there.
You have probably noticed this big guy has a bunch of points on each side. His right antler has 8 inline points. The left antler has a non typical arrangement in the vicinity of his third tine (G-3). He has what could be called a small G-3 up close to his forth tine but he also has a broken...
On opening morning Steve headed up the ridge we agreed might give him a chance to se the big bull and his raghorn buddy out in the open at day break. Turned out that the two had migrated quite a ways to the north and up higher on the mountain from where they had originally been spotted. Steve...

Made a couple of trips to one of my favorite spots during the first week in May. Caught a few post spawn fish and several "chromers" on chironomids. The bright ones were great fighters and excellent table fare.
I Hit the Res a little late this spring. Weather was great but spawning run was a bit far along, making it very difficult to catch fish, even though I could see hundreds.
I just applied the second and last coat of varnish on these four fish mounts. Posting them on here to share with you. Not to advertise. I have been retired from my taxidermy business for over 10-years. These skin mounts, using the real heads, are for myself and family.
I would like to say...
Beautiful Buck, great looking country and your usual terrific write-up. Randy, you should consider compiling your best stories over the years into a book!
Another thing, a cape marred by fighting is sometimes still very viable and often produces a mount with a lot of character.
