Professionally mounted by Stuart Jefferies, Taxidermy, Scotland, shield and fittings by Raymond Hutchison. Annie recalls - ''This was taken by Ray on one of his hunting trips to Canada, he loved Canada and British Columbia and always remembered the solitude and the wildness of the mountains. Ray said it was dangerous to achieve a dream so never wanted to finish the collection. When mounting the labels on the shields, he only put three screws into this label to ensure the collection was never completely finished''.
