So anyone know the story behind the 'Chadwick Ram' ?

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #8 on:** October 22, 2009, 07:44:50 PM »

The story is in one of my Jack Oconnor books. I think it was the 30's and the hunter wounded it and one of the guides finished it off. I think they were meat hunters if I remember the story correctly.

Where are the horns now?

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #12 on:** October 22, 2009, 10:54:33 PM »

I think it's still in Cody, Wyoming. An unbelievable ram and the only one ever to have 50" horns or larger on both sides including all rocky sheep.

I just saw it at the Buffalo Bill Museum... It was absolutely unreal... if you google it, I'm sure you can come up with all kinds of stuff on it. Chadwick was also a very interesting dude... he was an inventor and a genius... back in the day...way BACK...he invented this contaption that...if you drove a road, it would record the corners and such... then... you could go back through there and not even steer... it was wild....
