Stinky project from start to finish

Last January a group of us went down to Texas for an exotic bowhunt. My friend Tanner shot this really nice Corsican ram on the first morning.

The first thing we all said when we saw it was "man, he sure does stink" This was just the beginning. The best way to get the horns off the skull is to let it sit in a bag and rot them off. When I finally got around to opening the bag it was plenty rotten. They came right off, but I couldn't get the stink out of my nose for days. I've since learned to rub some Vics Vapo-rub under your nose while doing this. The tanned cape also has a distinct odor that kind of reminded me of a litter box mixed with chew spit. So after 4 rounds of shampoo he was ready to mount. The old lady still gags when she walks past him so he still has a little stink to him, we are both excited for this one to be pickd up. Here he is.

Dandy mount, who doesn't like a little kitty litter and chew spit ;)

Really does look great.

Sweet looking ram and nice work with the taxidermy! I know a guy by the name of Tanner and he looks an awful lot like the guy in the pic. Does his last name happen to start with a U?
 
Yep that's the Tanner you know. Aweful scrawny for a Tama boy isn't he:D

Thanks for the comments guys, it's fun work on something other than a deer every now and then.
