Exotic Sheep ?

[Arteman]

Just curious what the majority of people think, but if you was to go on one of these hunts which would you prefer, a winter coat Ram, or a summer coat Ram for a mount.  The sheep I'm referring to are the Texas Dall, Hawaiian Black, or the Corsican.  Looking at pics of these sheep in both coats, im kind of torn between the two.

WINTER!

WINTER!

Thanks M_N for your opinion, I assume you being a taxidermist that you've seen a few and would no better.  I have never seen one other than photos, so your opinion matters.  Thanks again.

Winter is fine, but the one thing that I have found out the thicker the coat the more stuff gets in there and when you try to get it out a lot of times you can't, also very hard to see fine details under the hair.

That will however not stop me from whacking some in a couple of weeks.

Summer ones look very clean, nice short hair and will show more detail off.

Thanks BBK, I'm doing it also.  Sounds like a good time, and thought since I will never draw a bighorn I might as well.  Which one you going for?  I like those Dalls, but if I see a Hawaiian, or Corsican I like better ill try for it.

My plan is a dall and a corsican. Then if the ranch is all they say it is then going for the axis, sika and fallow deer also.

Make sure there aren't any holes in their ears.....

if there is I can fix them 

The ranch I am going to go down here in Texas is supposed to be 2300 acres and they have a 1800 acre ranch also. Supposed to be a lot of game so will see. I figure after I check it out the wife will do most of the hunting. With her being in the military she has not been able to hunt for the last four years and if I have to hunt a ranch for her to enjoy some hunting then I will gladly fix the ears.

I've got a Hawaiian Black sheep from a place in Oregon, killed it in Febraury.  Hair is nice and long, wasn't matted and I think the mount looks nice.

Right on, that sounds like an awesome price.  I'll be making a weekend warrior trip, drive down, and carpool.  Burned all my floaters and vacation up for Deer & Elk.  Thinking ill take a day with no pay with the weekend, head down, and get it done.  What's a flight cost to Texas, and getting meat back?  One of these years I'd like to save some time and do a trip down there, maybe even take the wife  .  I'll be looking forward to your pics.

round trip is about 330.00.   The meat, just bone out and put in a cooler. An extra bag up to 75 pounds is 25.00 to 50.00 on airline. Hopefully will have the pics up 1st week of Jan,
