I forgot to ask.. How are you going to have it mounted ??

Looks like a hell of a hunt! If you don't mind my asking who did you use and how much ballpark would a trip like that run? Aoudad is one of those funky ones I would love to go for one of these days

I shot a larger sheep later that day but the recovery was horrendous , I had to climb down a 40 ft cliff ,over rocks the size of cars. When I finally got to him , he had rolled and stopped 5 ft from 1000 ft sheer rock cliff. I took only the head and started the climb back up. All the time being careful not to put my hands near rattle snakes. I will use the cape from the first sheep with the 2 nd set of horns. Going to have a half sized mount walking down hill on a rock ledge that I will build off my stone chimney in the great room of my log home.

This is the second time I was at this ranch. The ranch is owned by a friend of my bother in law. We had use of the ranch house for 5 days and 30,000 acres to hunt.All it cost me was the drive out ,food adnd  spending money, all less than $1000. A hunt of this caliber would be 4-$6kk. I ll be going back for 3 weeks next year and trade some labor for the opportunity to hunt.

nice setup for you!  We all wish we had something like that.  Good for you!

I'm happy to read that you had such a good hunting  opportunity...

I hope that you post pics of the mounts when you get them back from the taxidermist...Those sheep have  great horns !!
