New Ram mount

[JParanee]

Guys you have to forgive me for posting this here but you guys have been so cool and there seems to be a lot of hunters on this forum that I could not resist. As a kid I dreamed and read about Marco Polo rams but thought I would never get the chance to actually hunt them. Well last Nov the stars lined up and I found myself at 16000 ft in Tajikistan on the border of Afganistan looking at this beast of a ram thru my crosshairs. I just got the ram back this morning and I had to show someone so why not a bunch of hogs. The superstar in the second photo is my middle daughter Bell. I hope you guys do not mind

Joe
Ive been waiting to see how you were having this one mounted. That mount is just awesome. Nothing better than a well done full mount. I bet it feels great to have him back at home.

 

[JParanee]

Thanks Norcal I apreciate everybody's comments and I have not been this excited to get a mount back in a long time
