Kaibab for me. Muzzleloader 1st or rifle 2nd. Hope it is the M/L. M/L East and rifle West.

Looks like the north end of 43B. Nice ram and congratulations to your friend.

Extreme long range shooting has not been good for the sport. My opinion. Too many hunters believe they can do it because they believe the hype. Lots of wounded animals never recovered. What has happened to the idea of getting as close as possible to make an ethical shot? That is the spirit of hunting. Again, my opinion. Bill V

If your son is shooting a 54 cal Knight, there is a 95% chance it is a plunger type. Therefor, he will need a conversion to shotgun 209 primers in order to ignite Blackhorn 209. New hammer assembly and breech plug. Last year I used a Barnes 275 grain on my elk DRT. I have chronoed that bullet with two 60 grain pellets at 1800fps. Pellets are easiest, loose is easier to find the accuracy sweet spot. Bill V

I have a full box of the Pyrodex 54/60 grain pellets. Your son can have them for the $25 I paid. I am in Phoenix also. PM me if he is interested. Bill V

If any 2015 Sheep hunters have their Taxidermy work back yet I bet there would be some interest in seeing the finished trophies. I sure would like to see them! Thanks, Bill V

I will attempt to post my cell phone photo. Not the best pic but I am pleased with the mount.

I would like to add some interesting habitat items to my desert ram shoulder mount. I am thinking of rocks and possibly cactus of some sort. I have seen some of the cholla but most don't look quite right. Mckenzie has a barrel cactus that might work with a rock scape. I am looking for ideas from the experts and those with more experience than I have. Also, other sources for the taxi habitat. Thanks in advance for any help. Bill V

Thanks to all who replied and the excellent suggestions. Still looking for a life like cholla. Also, Becker, beautiful ram mount! Bill V

208muley, Now you have me thinking. I was assuming artificial habitat, but you may be on to something. The ocotillo branches would provide some vertical interest. I am now thinking about real cholla but not sure they can be preserved. Definitely want a base of artificial rock with some sort of cacti. Thanks for your suggestions. Bill V
