Yeah, I remember it, it was also in the Great Falls Tribune.  Believe it was taken on the Sun river game range or somewhere thereabouts.  Was a pretty good 5 point bull if i recall.

The guy that took the picture was at the Big Horn Show a couple years back.  He was selling prints and I believe he had a series of three pictures as the antlers were falling off.  You're not crazy.

Those prints are usually for sale somewhere at every sportsman show every year....  Usually like said above, in a 3 print set.

I have a set of signed prints on my wall. My wife found the set at a garage sale. We met the photographer a few years back at the Puyallup Fair. He is an amazing guy and he got very lucky on that one.

It is a picture of a Tule Elk bull in Northern Cal.

Are you talking about the series that Gary Lamare took?  I believe thats how you spell his last name, he lived in Castlerock Washington but think he moved to Montana.  I used to know his daughter, and I would go up and buy reference photos from him for art projects.  If its the same photos I'm thinking, the bull is standing there with both antlers, then shakes, and then standing there bald above both sheds.

And I'm 90% sure the Elk was photographed in the St. Helens monument.  I'll have to see if he is still around, this last summer he had a huge sale at his house and was basically giving away thousands of prints, he said he was getting rid of stuff and moving to Montana.  I know he was asking a lot for the home so not sure it its sold yet.

It does look like a Tule bull.  I am sure I saw them in the Great Falls tribune, not sure why I remembered them being taken at Sun River? :dunno:

if you look carefully, in picture one the bull on the left is the one that loses the antlers, looks like elk on the right (in the first picture) walked to the other side of the other bull before he shook off the antlers

or,.. the photographer pointed the camera more to the right after the first picture, and the bull on the right that loses his anters in pictures 2,3,4 is not even in picture 1.  either way, the bull that is on the right in picture 1 is on the left in picture 2,3,4.   also if you look at the clump of grass in the middle of picture 1, you'll see that the clump is way to the left in pucture 2,3,4. so the camera was pointed more to the right in picture 2,3,4 than pic 1.

Yeah just got back on to give the correct spelling of his name, Gerry Lamarre.  And now I am about 90% sure those are not St. Helens bulls after seeing the pics again.   :chuckle:

I'm very curious now to where these bulls were photographed, I have his contact number in my old phone, if I remember after work ill see if it still gets him and ill ask the man.  They could be Jewel Refuge bulls, at least look more like those bulls down there.

I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.

I grew up living next door to the photographer Gerry Lamarre. He took the picture on January 21 1984 at the Tule Elk Reserve outside of Bakersfield California. I have the picture with a article from Outdoor life April 1987 taped to the back of it. This is NOT a photo-shoped picture. I remember as a kid his garage was full of framed pictures and I thought he had the coolest motorcycle because it was camouflage. He even hung a few deer heads in our house because he did not have enough room in his house.

Yeah he had some nice mounts.  Liked how he had the upstairs done with all his trophies, especially liked his Billy.  Too bad they all burnt up, its a shame.
