Sheep mounts

devobrodie · Dec 25, 2022

We are trying to decide on a shoulder mount for my wife's desert bighorn, does anyone have any photos of a relaxed, or sneak mount on a Ram? Every thing I see are all uprights, her ram has some good character and wear on the tops of his horns so we think it would look good it you can see it when its mounted, but I want to see a picture if possible before committing to it in a sneak, thanks

Any skilled taxi should be able to alter the form to best display the ram. If your looking to see more of the tops of the horns tipping the nose down would help display the tops. Most sneak forms the nose will be up more this making the horns roll back loosing the view of the tops. Wide flaring rams look great on sneak mounts.
Post up the finished pics. Love the ram mounts.

I would highly recommend either a wall or table pedestal. Brings a lot more life to a mount.

I like pedestal mounts. The pedestal mount in the middle is a Desert Ram. I think a upright pedestal mount would give you a great view of the character on top. Mine you can have positioned in 4 different angles.

Now that's the coolest corner of a room that I've seen in a long time

Mine is almost done I like the pedestal mount so you can see 360. Whisky barrel was my choice!

Just picked up my first sheep mount. Turned out amazing.
