My taxidermist said he was 9-1/2 or 10-1/2. We sent two incisors in to the state for them to age him. We'll find out what they say. We're getting a shoulder mount done. I'm also having the scrotum tanned to make a possibles bag with. My daughter claimed the one from my sheep (so I gave it to her) LOL. We're using the same taxidermist that did my Ram. United we stand.

Awsome story and pictures, thanks for sharing!!!! Just curious... will you leave the collor on the mount? It depends on how he looks after tanned and mounted. If it's obvious and looks rough we'll put the collar back on. I'm guessing he'll need the collar to look good. United we stand.
