This Alaskan Dall Sheep bronze sculpture was inspired by a piece commissioned by the Alaska Wild Sheep Foundation (AK WSF) for the prestigious Charles A. Sheldon Award for Lifetime Achievement in Wild Sheep Conservation in Alaska. With special authorization from AK WSF, artist Frank Entsminger created additional pieces with unique horn configurations, ensuring that their original sculpture remains one-of-a-kind. The bronze sculpture is modeled after a record book muzzleloader ram harvested by the late Bob Hodson and features a ram taken by Frank in 1988, known for its tight curl. Available in a variety of patina finishes, this Wild Sheep sculpture captures the rugged beauty of Alaska’s wild rams.

When you purchase this Wild Sheep sculpture directly from the artist, Frank will donate $1000 to the Alaska Wild Sheep Foundation (AK WSF) to support their ongoing conservation efforts.
