Mountain sheep..anyone cooked?

[bigboysmokehous]

Hello fellow smokeaholics!

A buddy of mine wants me to smoke a leg of sheep he got last year hunting. I have dealt with venison and elk but never sheep. Has anyone worked with this meat? Any ideas on how to smoke it?

Any ideas would be awesome!!

Trying to help the thread before you about Barbados ram. Dont think its going to be a world of difference between the 2.

How big is leg,age & fat cover estimate will help. They can be strong flavoured in older animals & a bit tough & thats domestic sheep not wild.

Do you want to look at the other thread then give us all a little more detail? Straight out of the chute I think you better be concerned about it drying out.

I would like to help if I can I just need a bit more info.
