There used to be a sheep skull similar to that in the Current Creek Lodge (Utah). Wonder if it's one and the same beings the lodge no longer exists?

They said that an indian hunter put the head in the tree overlooking the area where he killed it out of respect. Then the tree just grew around the skull and horns. It looks really cool. I don't know about the story, but somone put it there for sure.

All those heads look older than dirt! Cool pics though, it's getting to be that time of year when I have a hard time concentrating on work! Good luck to everyone this year.

Been there to this museum and almost all of these animals were hunted by one fellow who decided to put them in a museum for all to see. I don't remember his name but it isquite a collection from all over the world where he hunted.
The place is right next to the main city park in Elko, I will be driving throught there in a couple of weeks and will see who the fellow was that donated these animals and funded the project.
