Doing My Aoudad Mount!

[CaptnC]

Got him all brushed out...for such an ugly animal...he sure looks good!

Should have cleaned the eyes, it would have looked even better!

You've seen him when he looked like this. Plan is to get him mounted this weekend...

Yes...I've heard all the jokes about a guy who likes to mount his sheep!

This sheep will be mounted in a little more exceptable manner!

I got the form in yesterday, the hide has been fleshed already. I hope it is thawed out enough to get it washed tonight. I no longer have my old drier (without heating element) to tumble the hide in so it will have to air dry tonight I hope.

Wife wants to see him on the wall so range day for the 6.5-284 gets pushed back to another weekend. Forcast is for rain and wind so I'm not missing much...

Will try to update as I go...

Where did the hunt take place? The back ground looks like the place I grew up as a kid in west Texas.

Devils River State Natural Area...NW of Del Rio

The Devils River is on the SW end of the area.

Thanks, I am familiar with that area. Grew up in Alpine Tx, and used to hunt the Davis Mountains as well. Ever get a chance go fishing for stripers in Lake Amistad, and rent the house boats, a lot of fun.
