Chet707 Report post Posted October 10, 2021 Good evening, I'm new here! I was told by a friend of mine that there are some younger folks on here that do euro mounts. If anyone has their info I would much appreciate it. Since I probably won't get this opportunity again, I figured it would be best to have someone mount it that knows what they're doing. This sheep was road killed south of gila bend and I got the salvage tag. First time posting in a forum so forgive me. Thanks in advance! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chet707 Report post Posted October 10, 2021 Yessir, right in the middle of black gap! I couldn't believe it. I had always been told that there are sheep up there but until today I hadn't seen one. I have seen them out near hat mountain but never close to the highway before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOTAGS Report post Posted October 10, 2021 I drive that to and from Cholla Bay, only ever saw one deer ( big buck) hit in the monument years ago. Hope your vehicles ok, btw the meat on bighorn is great.. Sucks for next years draw, looks to be class 3 ram, may have been mature next year with the moisture.

It's my understanding that the WM has to verify that the kill was not illegal. The vehicle thing is pretty straight forward and may account for the ease of getting the salvage permit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
