Question about Mouflon mount

[ostey22]

Need a little help GS. I'm going to be in the market for a mouflon hunt this year. My question is, is there a mount I can do that shows the white saddle without having to do a full body? Something close to a pedistal mount. I don't think a form I'm thinking of exist. Thank you.

Here is one of my mounts....

Shows a good portion of the saddle, but not all. I had a throw made from the hide of another and it looks great!

You might be able to manipulate the hide forward a bit to get some of the saddle to show on a regular pedestal, but it would look off and obvious. If you shoot a mouflon that has a bigger than normal saddle, then this conversation is pointless I don't think I have ever seen a mouflon or red sheep do that though.

Best bet will be a half or full mount.

Nice mount! I might just do it like you did. I'm just scared my niece would use it as a ropping dummy. Lol. Thx for replying.

If you kill a nice one, I'd do a full body mount. If it's marginal, do a shoulder and plan another hunt. I don't want to limit myself to just one mouflon hunt. Haha.

You make a good point.

they now have sheep wall pedestal forms. I have slightly added on a little to the form to get the saddle to show. Cheaper than a 1/2 LS mount

Awesome! That's exactly what I'm looking for.

If I ever shoot a big fella, I'll go full body and he'd have to be huge. For now.

Well that's not a baby ^^. Nice mouflon bud!

Here are two examples of a fan mount I used on a mouflon and a black buck to show off most of the hides. I think they turned out pretty nice if you have the space.

i made a thread awhile back about aoudad mounts. someone posted a pic of his custom offset pedestal mount. its basically 3/4 of one side without the legs. looked awesome.

I'll try to find it. I just want something that shows the saddle. I Just think its a waste of a beautiful animal, unless you're going to do a full body. Thx!

@ostey22. These were done by Tim Azlin with Azlin Taxidermy in Clute, TX. He served as my guide and taxidermist on both. Tim has done most of my taxidermy over the years.

Thank you! I'm not 30 mins from Clute. I'll give him a shout if I get a good one. If he has anymore mouflons, pm me.
