I would likely side with the black hawaian, just really like the way they look but a nice dall with that big fluffy white coat would be sweet as well.

I shot a corsican 2 or 3 years ago and depending on how we cooked it some of the meat was really good. We found the ground meat took spice really well like in chili and tacos, the ribs dried out when we tried to barbecue them, backstraps were really good grilled, and we did one hind quarter injected with pineable juice and marinated in teriyaki that was banging! As I said depending how it was cooked it turned out pretty good, but some things we tried were really not that great.
 
I'm really not into the Sheep though I have a couple from past Bowhunts. I've only bowhunted what they call Day-lease places so price is always the same. There IS a Ram Slam which consists of (I think) Black Hawaian, Texas Dall, Mouflan & Corsican. I would shoot a GOOD Texas Dall if I had the chance as they seem more impressive to me than the black.. Meat (to me) is not good & I gave mine to families that liked Sheep Meat. Good Luck..It's always fun.

I shot a Barbado ( a ram mix ) back in 89' and a Texas Dall in 91'. The first ram I had cut up as you would a deer chops, ground, and stew the second was made into sausage. I prefered the sausage and ground (tacos mostly). Check out the recipies on Texasbowhunter.com they have some very interesting looking recipies that I plan on using when kill a ram this year. By the way I had both mounted (1st one was pretty good just got eatin by bugs(?) and started loosing hair...Tx Dall taxidermist did crappy job...horns tilted foward @ bases and eyes wrong size for form ! ) Just have your taxidermist PICKED OUT before you go JMO. Otherwise you will have a great time and come home with an fantastic trophy for your wall with either ram.;)

Went on a Ram hunt this year, enjoyed it. I could have shot a Texas doll or a Black Hawaiian, decided on the BH, had bigger horns, waiting on it to get back from Taxidermist now
Nice Ram. Post a picture of it when you get it back from the taxidermist. You dont seem to see as many of these mounted.

Very nice V-Train. Did you have the taxidermist there at Wilderness do your mounts? They look great! I had them do my hog and it turned out great.

yea, they did them all. i got prices from people here before i went. they were only like $40 or $50 more, mainly due to freight. it is worth it, cause you don't have to
worry about rushing hope to get them to a taxidermist. Allen's (the owner) brother runs the taxidermist shop. they did a great job, i wish i could find that picture of
that merino. it was so dirty when i got it, almost brown, they were really able to get the coat solid white. i could not believe it.

Shoot whatever ram makes you happy for your wall and then shoot a hog for meat. If you're not good at cooking rams/goats, you'll be eating something that smells like your base layer after a 3 day hunt and probably harder than the boots you wore....
