ALASKAN DALL SHEEP SHOULDER MOUNT
Ovis dalli
The Dall Sheep is a true wild Sheep of North America, and one of its most coveted trophies. They are an off-white color with amber hoofs and horns and are found only in Alaska and the Yukon, living in Mountainous country, including glacier edges, just below the permanent snow line. Their habitat includes steep, rugged cliffs and rocky outcroppings useful for escape from predators, with nearby meadows for feeding. This example is a mature full-curl Ram with excellent quality taxidermy. His horns measure 38 x 37½ inches long around the curls and have 14 x 13 7/8 inches bases. A fine mount, it stands 19 inches from the wall and measures 31 inches high x 27 inches wide.
