Description

The Dall Sheep (Ovis dalli) is a species of wild mountain sheep native to the rugged alpine regions of Alaska and northwestern Canada. Known for its snow-white coat and massive curled horns, it is a symbol of North American wilderness. Dall sheep are incredibly agile climbers, adapted to rocky slopes where they evade predators and endure extreme temperatures.

This particular mount features an albino variant, an extremely rare genetic condition that results in the complete absence of pigmentation in the wool, skin, and eyes. While Dall sheep are naturally white, true albinism is identifiable by pale eyes and pink skin. These specimens are extraordinarily scarce in nature and even rarer in trophy collections.

The mount includes an impressive set of 27.5” curled horns, making it a standout piece for collectors. These horns grow continuously throughout the animal’s life, forming dramatic spirals and age rings that indicate maturity and strength.

Dall sheep rams are prized in North American big game hunting for their dramatic appearance and the challenge of their terrain. Their impressive horns, combined with their harsh alpine habitat, makes them a premium pursuit for hunters and collectors.
