Goat Horns
Description:
On each horn are four rings varying in distances from the base, the distances diminishing closer to the base. The horns lay beside Meager Creek, part of the skeleton that had lain there for a considerable time. In August 1975, T. Fougberg picked them up. Because no logging roads had yet reached the area at the hot spring, Eldon Talbot flew in the Fougbergs and members of the Priest family.

ram skull and horns
Description:
A ram skull and horns, known as the "Pierre Jim Ram", that was killed by Pierre Jim in the fall of 1935 on the bluffs above the railway tracks, just to the west of Mount Currie. It was the only wild sheep (Anderson-Seton/California Bighorn) to ever be taken in Pemberton, specifically the areas of Mount Currie. It is assumed that when the ram was still alive, it wandered off from its home range (which was quite common for wild sheep to do so) and fell in the hands of a hunter. The ram skull and horns was adorned to the entrance of the Mount Currie pool until the building was demolished. Afterwards, Pierre Jim's grandson, Lloyd Williams, retrieved the skull and horns and kept them at his shed for many years. Lloyd eventually agreed that the trophy was more appropriate to be donated and displayed at the Museum. He felt that the prized possession would be properly cared for there, "rather than laying in my woodshed", and that more people will be able to view it at the Museum.
